Bigpond Music offers MP3s
Was quite cool to read that Bigpond Music are now offering DRM free MP3 files for download via its music store. This is awesome.
It was annoying knowing that there were some songs in Bigpond’s Music Store that I couldn’t download (they were previously in stupid WMA format, and I couldn’t be stuffed downloading them to my PC, burning them to a CD, then ripping them into my Mac). So it’s tops to know that I can download MP3s now. Not everything in their catalogue is available yet… but hopefully it will grow.
I do love the “first in Australia” thing that they’re touting. Yes, perhaps it’s the first in Australia to offer MP3 files for download DRM free… but let’s not forget that iTMS have been doing their iTunes Plus thing for quite a while. And those files are DRM free. Just in the AAC file format.
Still… awesome stuff.
