So some crap MP3s with your toilet paper then

Tesco has announced that it's opening an online store of MP3 music, with all 3.3 million tracks DRM-free by the end of the year. Movies and TV shows will follow, says the supermarket

* Insert aisle pun here *

No aisle pun, but do you think they'll sell lower quality MP3s? Tesco Value and all that...?

[King Kong]

I think its a great idea.

At the end of the day, un DRM'ed stuff if cheap enough will outweigh Piracy.

I would rather pay a fiver for an album, then buy a copied one for a couple of quid.

But its Tesco...

In a previous life I used to work in computer retail, and often people would come in with their dirt cheap, crap Tesco bought computer stuff and ask us to explain it to them/ fix it/make it WORK! - becase Tesco knew shit about computers.

Always we would refuse and tell people to not buy your computer products in the same place as your beans.

Not the same thing - but the comparasons are there..

Does Tesco have the expertese to make this service work?

[King Kong]

I don't think they need the expertise to make it work. Just a decent Delivery platform as well as a decent Software package to handle the orders etc

Yes Tesco's is crap imho

I would never shop there whatsoever, however if their un DRMed tunez are cheap enough, of decent quality why not?

I pay Napster at the moment for my tunez - and they are DRM'ed.
