Has anybody here used the service and what do you think if it?
I just signed up the other night, and I'm still trying to decide if I want to keep it after the 14 day trial is up.
I'm using it with Windows Media Player and using the "work around" via
Total Recorder to convert the files to wav then to mp3. I actually haven't
even transfered the mp3s to my Karma yet, I've just been listening throug the
computer speakers.
It seems kind of cool, in that there is a lot of music available for free (after
the subscrition) that I may not listen to normally, and I don't have to shell out
for the CD, just to check out a new band. The whole converting to wav files
then reencoding is a bit of a pain, but it's not unbearable. I did come from the world of MiniDisc where I used to record via optical cable in realtime.
my normal mp3 listening on my Karma is via EAC/Lame APE so I don't know
that I'm going to love the sound quality. I'm really just curious at this point
to get others opinions on the service, and hear other peoples experiences.
thanks
