Radiohead's new album

Recently, the British band Radiohead has announced a release of a new album and instead of the usual way they are offering it to people for the price that they want to pay for it as a download legally from their website. on this website you will be able to enter how much money you want to pay for it from £0.00 onwards, if you are paying some money then you will have to add 45p for the handling fee.

I believe that this is a brilliant way forward and I hope that more artists follow this route. what are your views?

 

Nice idea but I firstly want to hear from others how the tracks are cuz I didn't like their recent stuff. And I also want to know whether there's DRM on it that prevents me to copy it on my (now died) mp3 player. I'm so fed up with those strict DRM as I did pay for them but whenever there's some computer problem I'll lose the license I'd paid for. >.<

 

You can choose to pay absolutely nothing for them... That's the neatest part of the deal -tongue2

 

You still have to pay them the 45p (for each track I bet) for the handling fee. -mellow

 

I paid nothing for my download... But I am not sure if they will charge you extra if you choose to pay ANYTHING instead of nothing -sweat

Methink they only charge the 45p handling fee if you are paying ANY MONEY... If there's no actual transaction, there shouldn't be any handling -tongue2

 

Oh so you got the tracks? How are they? Any better than the stuff on Kid A and Amnesiac?

 

Haven't get a chance to listen to them yet... But even so, I didn't think Kid A was THAT terrible so my taste in music may not be any indicator of their crappiness or greatness -sweat

 

OK, Kid A wasn't that bad I admit, but I prefer their older stuff like OK Computer. Let me know how the new tracks are when you have the chance to listen to it and I might buy a few of 'm -^_^

 

you don't pay the 45p handling fee unless ur paying some money for it. also i've heard its drm free so u can't rele lose there.

 

Oh man, I'm facing a dilemma now...I do want to listen to the new stuff but I'm not sure whether to pay or not as I dunno how the new stuff sounds like. If it's crap I wished I'd never paid anything for it but if don't pay and I liked it a lot I'll feel guilty. -unsure

So, bbes or Hiake or anyone else have already heard it?

 

Pay nothing to download it now, then if you like it enough, buy the CD -tongue2

 

OK, just dled that album! -^_^ *am listening now*

 

This is certainly not 'love at first listening' and I'm glad I haven't paid a penny for it....-boat
The only track I sort of liked was 'Reckoner' which was ok.

 

gran album

este es un exelente album... lo recomiendo 100%

 

Just thought it's kind of relevant... Why would anyone risk their neck to share the files illegally if they can get it for free? Too much effort to "sign up"?! -huh
