What Did I Drink Before Buying That Song?
from the please-make-it-stop dept
It's almost comical just how many consumer products brands are getting themselves involved with downloadable music, whether by offering their own branded download system or by partnering with a more well known download store to offer free tracks. The latest of the bunch appears to be Heineken who is offering a similar deal to the Pepsi/iTunes free song downloads promotion - except that the Heineken one doesn't use iTunes. Instead it's using some other service, meaning that the free songs you get from Heineken won't work with the free songs that you get from Pepsi, and your entire music collection is going to be segregated by what beverage you happened to drink before downloading it. This is progress?

RealPlayer Music Store
Why in the heck would someone assume you could use free RealPlayer Music Store credits in the iTMS?. Anyway, RealPlayer Music Store is better than the iTMS in many ways.

Re: RealPlayer Music Store
Er... no one assumed you could use RealPlay Music Store credits in iTunes. The point is that the music from the two stores won't work together.
How would you like it if the CDs you bought from Tower Records wouldn't work in the same CD players you bought from Sam Goody?

Damn..
And I thought that you were referring to the act of getting all drunked up and buying tens of dollars worth of music from the iTMS....

Ok, I'll bite. Tell us the many ways RMS is better than iTMS.

Re: RealPlayer Music Store
I'll take a stab at it...
1) Less contention for resources
2) Fewer choices to have to make
3) ..umm.. Can continue playing iTunes in the background while browsing their store
4) ..er, ah.. Fewer characters to type in your web browser address bar when you want to complain
5) .. Gee, I know there was something else.

I'll just continue to download illegally.
