DRM free

Lots of places are reporting that Amazon are selling music from every member of the ‘big four’ as DRM free mp3s. Can’t quite believe it’s happened but it’s not before time. Anyone dare to predict whether the p2p/torrent hordes can be persuaded to return to legal music purchases? Perhaps it’s enough to entice new downloaders who haven’t discovered p2p or torrents yet as computer based home entertainment systems and media centres become more common.

I’m having difficulties getting through to customer services on 0845 454 1111. I can navigate the menus (joy) but get a (engaged?!) beeping noise when I would expect to be put on hold for 1/2 hour. Any other Virgin customers experiencing the same?

Why can I not create shortcuts to programs stored in the applications folder?
