I recently wrote Fred Meyer corporate complaining and threatening to never step foot in their store again should they enforce their no returns on opened music policy (pretty easy to reason past this policy as there is no easy way to rip the music due to Satan's...er...sony's software). I was pleased to recieve a call from the store manager telling me to come on in and get my refund / store cred.<BR/><BR/>I will have to purchase the disk on Itunes now I guess. I hate to put the money back in Sony's pocket but its a great disk...no?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-1133402514616788522005-11-30T21:01:00.000-05:002005-11-30T21:01:00.000-05:00Karen,The Onion bit is hilarious.

Why would I go out and by one of their cds to jump through those hoops, when I can steal it online without the hassle, and potential risk to my file system as well?<BR/><BR/>Insanity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-1133382906871709272005-11-30T15:35:00.000-05:002005-11-30T15:35:00.000-05:00The Onion takes on a related issue<A HREF="http://www.theonion.com/content/node/43029" REL="nofollow">The Onion takes on a related issue</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-1133305637571425192005-11-29T18:07:00.000-05:002005-11-29T18:07:00.000-05:00I read about this last week.

That's ridiculous. You bought the CD, you bought the iPod, you bought the software. And now they're making it hard to use the latter two. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the info, though. It'll help me out later. Looking forward to the spy photos.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00365049510703505483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-1133287817774336682005-11-29T13:10:00.000-05:002005-11-29T13:10:00.000-05:00Thank goodness I have a Mac.

I also have the latest Foo Fighters CDs and was able to rip 'em and put 'em on my iPod without any problems. <BR/><BR/>I feel sorry for the artists on Sony who most likely had no idea what they were getting into when they signed with the label.

So thank you. I don't have any kind of system like you have, but a lot of times when I buy a cd I make a copy for my car so I have one at the house and one in the car. And sometimes months go by when I don't use my cd burner for anything. (Luckily, because half the time it's out of order.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
