Sony Revisits Online Offer Of Custom CD's
from the why-bother? dept
Not exactly sure why they're bothering, but the NY Times is reporting about Sony's new plans to attempt (yet again) to offer people the ability to build custom CDs. Historically, just about every such program has failed miserably. Sony's "twist" on the idea is to just offer songs from a particular artist. For example, this week, you can make your own "best of Bob Dylan" CD from a (slightly limited) list of only his songs. So, let's get this straight: in order to improve on failed similar attempts in the past Sony is going to offer users significantly less options in what customers can get? That sounds workable...

Sony Gets its way despite the customers wishes?
Mike, in 20 years, after Sony and the other members of the RIAA get their way, we'll all be happy being able to pay $50 to get access to a limited selection of Bob Dylan's works in order to get enough songs to make our own CDs. Everything else will be Britney Spears...or whomever they dredge up (that looks good but cannot sing worth a darn) that can afford to sell their soul to be a rock star.
Bob Dylan may suck (I like his music, but he sings as well as Britney or any female cat in heat,) but at least we have a choice...the RIAA doesn't even want to give us that.
Then again, I'm with you...I'd like to see serving the customer reintroduced into the Entertainment Industry.

Re: Sony Gets its way despite the customers wishes
Whoooooaaaa, are you implying that Britney [even] looks good?

Re: Sony Gets its way despite the customers wishes
Notice the conjunction... Britney Spears or whomever they dredge up... no else in there, so that would imply that Britney either looks good or doesn't look good. Its non-committal, open for interpretation.
Frankly, she doesn't meet my standards...but obviously someone likes her or she wouldn't be there, certainly not because she can sing.
