My Morning Jacket / BMG
Posted: Tue Jan 31, 2006 4:25 pm
So I bought My Morning Jacket's "Z" this weekend... I've never heard it but I've heard good things and I love the cover art (I know, I know, book by it's cover...), plus I was picking up some other stuff and it was only $10.
Problem is, I can't put the damn thing on my iPod. It's got protection on it that only allows you to save it to your PC in secure WMA format, which iTunes can't convert. I was able to pull it down in MP3 format using iTunes, but the encryption caused the songs to be garbled.
I should have know when I noticed the back of the CD had the seal of the US Dept of Justice on it.
I was wondering if anyone knows a way around it, though I don't feel I should have to find a work around just to listen to music that I paid for. I'm fully irritated and ready to return the CD to the store.
I've never had this problem before, am I just behind the times? Is this just a BMG thing or is it becoming standard practice? Anybody?
