Cheaper EMI music from 7 Digital

7 Digital is selling EMI’s catalog as 320kpbs MP3s for UKP0.50 — about $1. Apple is selling the same music as lower-bitrate AAC files, with s33kr1t information hidden in them that Apple won’t discuss, for 30 percent more. 7 Digital works with any browser, so you can buy this music without needing to use iTunes, which doesn’t exist for Linux.

iTunes 7.2 and the MP3 gotcha

If you burn a playlist of iTunes’ protected music to a CD in iTunes 7.2 and then rip that CD in the MP3 format (a trick people often use to remove the tracks’ copy protection), those MP3 tracks won’t copy to an iPod. Try, and you’ll be told that the tracks are incompatible with the iPod.
