Low Cunning for Cheap Comedy
Friday, December 3, 2004 at 08:11PM
For some time I've had a Napster subscription. I pay 10 pounds a month and I can listen to any kind of music on my PC. I can also load music onto my tablet and listen to music on that too. Very nice.
Of course I can't actually do anything with the music that I've loaded, since it is protected by all that nasty digital rights manglement stuff. If I want to burn a CD I have to buy the music, at 99 pence a track.
I took part in a Napster survey and got five free downloads. But what to buy? I've always liked comedy records so I took a look at the Monty Python catalogue. Turns out that one side of some of the Python albums is one track. So..... I can get two and a half complete albums with my freebies.
Lovely.
