It's a little frustrating that only some discs are eligible. I wonder if that's just because they haven't ripped everything or if they have specific license agreements.
I'll pitch my friend's here - Murfie (https://www.murfie.com/ https://www.murfie.com/) does much the same thing, but also includes a marketplace so you can sell your discs. Because everything's backed by a physical CD in their warehouse, everything can just happen in the cloud and be available for streaming, but there's still a first-sale doctrine that they can point to.
- eli 14y agoIsn't that physical CD warehouse the same sort of legal argument that failed for MP3.com in the 90s?
- alanctgardner2 14y agoThat's interesting, but the prospect of having them go bankrupt and not only lose digital files, but also physical disks, is a bit disturbing. Also, no word on whether disks are fungible... if I send you my autographed maroon 5 boxset, will I get the same boxset back? Or just an equivalent product feom the warehouse?
- dalore 14y agoWhy would you send your valuable autographed boxset?
- alanctgardner2 14y agoIt was hypothetical; why would I own a Maroon 5 album to start with? Jokes aside, I mostly mean that if they treat the disks as fungible you don't know what condition you'll get it back in, which might matter for certain albums.
