MSFT About-Face on “Freedom of Music Choice”

As we reported last week, Microsoft’s new music download store, MSN Music, advised its frustrated iPod-toting customers to simply burn their purchases to CD, then rip them to an open format like MP3. That way, they could play their MSN Music downloads on their iPod (or any other device) without having to worry about the incompatibilities created by Microsoft’s platform-specific DRM restrictions.
