so after my last post i wanted to read the Snicket books. went snooping around and found no downloadable copy. rats. but i found a cool page called Audible its basically a online audio bookstore, i chose to actually buy this because they offer a 14.99 a month subscription that comes with a mp3 player now i didnt need the mp3 player but oh well. however it was 12$ for shipping so that in hindsight would have been better spent elsewhere. you get one book and some daily news and magazines and such with that subscription. they have a nice looking selection and the new harrypotter book due out soon just as easy to get it for 14bucks as steal it. so…

now for the bad. if i didnt want to actually listen to this book i would unsuscribe right now and can this dumb web site. let me see what do i hate about them. is it the proprietary DRM software that not only takes up 100% cpu load most of the time? how about that when its full screen and doing some DRM crap that you CAN NOT minimize it. what about its horrible user interface. is that what i hate. yes but not the clincher. they are DRM meaning that they try and force you to only use the media the way they want. no mp3 no copy here and there. its just like itunes. well they can shove it. after i get the books i want i will cancel because i hate this. seriously its the most horrible product package i have ever dealt with. if i pay 14 a month just to be forced to use a special mp3 player then screw them. i cant express my hate towards the RIAA and DRM. oh yea i can. they suck and so is the Audible software and the HORRIBLE roxio cd burner plugin never use it. crashed my computer 3 times before i un installed it and went to cracking the audio encryption.

ok so what will any good hacker do about this mess, that i paid for? use google. i’m not alone in the DRM hatin’ world. thanks to dbpoweramp i am able to convert my media back into trusty mp3 that i can play on everything. if your playing along at home you want to search for a “direct show decoder” for dbpoweramp – that little free(12$) mp3 player i also got from them might also be hackable thus allowing me to get the mp3 with out the dbpoweramp thus faster DRM-D-Struction

if you happen to work for audible learn something from this post. if i couldn't hack your format then i would cancel your product. i have no intentions of sharing it on P2P and i have no intentions of having you limit my use to a audio file i download. have a nice day.

is this a legit complaint or am i just getting angry by the exponential?
