Make Your Own DRM Enabled CD

Monday, December 19th, 2005

Who knows why you’d want to as an artist, but some of you (the hacker in you perhaps) may want to know how to make your own DRM enabled Audio CD. Which is technically possible…

Review TPN Rock in iTunes

Tuesday, December 13th, 2005

Following on from the Daily Podcast Rview, you too can review TPN Rock on a site that’s not TPN Rock! iTunes has just added “Customer Reviews” to the podcast section of the iTunes Stores (which means they’ve probably been looking at all the other catalouges and went ‘oooh that’s nice’ and implemented it). In [...]
