I received an Itunes gift card for Christmas and was wondering how I would get the songs that I purchased into Ogg Vorbis for my Linux desktop system. From DRM Removal, I learned that I could burn the songs to an audio CD, and then rip them to whatever format that I wanted.
Since there is such a straightforward workaround to the DRM involved, what is the point of having it at all? And where did those violent terms for putting audio onto a CD and taking it back off come from?
Archive for January, 2008Yesterday, it was 9F when I woke up. Today, it is 44F. And the Chinook, which tends to blow when the temperatures rise, isn’t even that strong this morning. It will be so nice to go out and feed the horses this morning. I usually do one organizational project New Year’s day or the closest weekend thereof. Usually, this involved cleaning out closets or something similar. This past weekend, I recabled my PC and its many peripherals so that I could actually turn off the power to peripherals except when I use them. Since I have a ton of USB peripherals, I had to match up USB bridges with power strips as well. I even did a little cleaning while I was down there. In my reorganization, I employed a new Power Sentry 5-Outlet PowerSquid Power Multiplier. I thought it was very cool when I saw it on a website a year or so ago, and it came in very handy extending power between the UPS and the tower and monitor. My computer desk is rather massive, which makes it difficult to get to the connections on the PC. October 06, 2007 - Click on image for higher resolution version. |
