Subject: RE: Tech: recording from minidisc to PC
A recent thread, which went quickly off the bottom of the page: Born Again Napster? has a link to "PC Magazine: New Napster."
The actual title of the linked article is " Users Bypass Copy Protection on Portable Napster." The article notes several programs available to let you "break the copy protection" on their rented music files to record them as .wav on your computer, but the interesting part is the brief discussion of "you don't need the programs."
The "New Napster" uses a different format than other music download services, but the comments probably are applicable to most such services. The other link at the same post gives a few more details. The Napster system is fairly new, and requires specific hardware, so probably hasn't seen much use by our folk.
Probably not directly applicable here, but might be interesting as "Related Info" to a few.
