Mama Afrika

Morreu Miriam Makeba, também conhecida como Mama Afrika. Morreu a fazer o que gostava — a cantar, num concerto de apoio a Roberto Saviano (que está ameaçado de morte pela Camorra italiana).

Mas a música nunca morre:

Qtrax ou isto parece-me uma barraca

Diz que disse, mas afinal não há acordo com as principais companhias.

iTunes sem DRM: "uh, uh, yeah, yeah, faz, faz"

E lá tive oportunidade de comprar no iTunes sem DRM. Foi através do iTunes Plus e paguei 1.29 euros pelo “Dialectos da Ternura” dos Da Weasel (EMI). Um pouco mais caro, mas livre e com melhor bitrate (256).

É caso para dizer:

Uh, Uh

Yeah, Yeah

Faz, faz

Bebé

(Note-se a profundidade do refrão.)

E já agora, via Help do iTunes:

Usage rights for iTunes Store purchases

Many of the songs you purchase from the iTunes Store are protected by Digital Rights Management (DRM). These protected purchases can be:

  • Played on up to five computers
  • Synced with your iPod
  • Synced with or streamed to your Apple TV
  • Burned to audio CDs or DVDs (you can burn a song an unlimited number of times, and as part of a playlist up to seven times)

    The iTunes Store also offers songs without DRM protection, from participating record labels. These DRM-free songs, called “iTunes Plus,” have no usage restrictions and feature higher-quality encoding.

    The first time you buy an iTunes Plus song, you specify whether to make all future purchases iTunes Plus versions (when available). You can change this setting by accessing your account information on the iTunes Store.

    If you already have iTunes Store purchases that are now available as iTunes Plus downloads, you may upgrade your existing purchases. To do so, visit the iTunes Store and follow the onscreen instructions.
