Even physical CDs are not as easy to use as they used to be; this article https://www.databasesandlife.com/playing-a-cd-on-a-computer/ https://www.databasesandlife.com/playing-a-cd-on-a-computer/ is from 2007: I bought a CD from a shop, a few months later tried to play it on my computer and the DRM had already somehow gone wrong in that short space of time. (At least CDs still work in CD players.)
- iamnotacrook 7y agoIf the DRM stopped it working then it was not a CD (aka "a defective CD), as a CD - as per the Red Book standard - does not support DRM. You should get your money back.
- adrianmsmith 7y agoRight, I mean, I agree, but my point was: It looked like a CD, I bought it from a physical shop selling CDs, it was a modern release from a top 10 pop star at the time. So if you want to listen to music, the algorithm "just buy [what looks like] a CD from a shop, then you won't have to deal with DRM" was not true, at least in my case.
