Napster and Rhapsody Now Offer DRM-free MP3 Music

Back in May Napster relaunched as a DRM-free MP3 vendor with over 6 million titles on board.

Now another music download service has caved in to pressure from consumers. This time it's Rhapsody, the service run by ye olde Real Networks. They're offering music in DRM-free MP3 format and also lets consumers preview entire songs in their browser before they buy. Pricing also seems reasonably competitive.

Shuffling Towards Freedom

My Samsung YP-MT6Z music player has been a fun little device to have around. It plays MP3's and Ogg Vorbis files, has an FM tuner, can record from that tuner on a timer, can record from line-in and a voice mic, and is powered by a single AA battery that makes up the majority of its size and weight. It also likes to corrupt its firmware fairly often, typically whenever the battery needs to be changed.
