Walmart Shutting Down DRM Servers
Walmart went DRM-free on its downloads over a year ago, realizing the future was in MP3s. But prior to that it sold its downloads in the WMA format with DRM protection.
Now Walmart is preparing to shut down its DRM servers on October 9 and is warning customers to back up the songs they own or they might well be lost.
When Microsoft did the same thing with its MSN Music Service, the protest was so loud that it extended the service for three more years, according to Vnunet, while Yahoo ended up reimbursing customers.
Walmart Launches CD Music Service
“The service lets customers choose tracks from more than 400,000 songs–rock, easy listening, country, classical, and more–all from Wal-Mart’s Web site. There’s no downloading required, nor isaccess to a CD burner or a portable digital music device necessary.
Customers select songs that Walmart.com burns onto a physical CD and ships. “The customer orders music from the online catalog and chooses the title and cover art to personalize the product before the order flows through the system to the production facility where the CD is produced,” says Kevin Swint, Walmart.com’s director of media categories. “The process is automated.”
