absolutely not. With iTunes and CD's that I get and RIP, I have no need to shell out extra bucks for music I couldn't get off the disc.

i agree. it's gonna suck up your battery anyway playing stuff off of the UMD's. If i can get ~10 hrs of music off the mem. stick or 2 hrs. from the UMD....tough decision

There's no reason to purchase a music UMD while MP3s exist.

MP3's all the way

nick...what they're probably do is encode the music in the ATRAC3Plus codec so you can get an albums worth of music....I personally use it myself...

Why are they making these ? Is there anything special about them ? Or is it just music ?

I could possibly be excited about umd music... if it were some limited edition aphex twin release that was primarily made for UMD, including special artwork and additional functions such as having all the songs with videos be on the umd, remixes of particular songs.. I mean you can fit a lot of information audio and video wise on one UMD.. would be possibly worth releasing a special edition of something or totally new tracks all together with like funny crap on it (imagine getting siamese dream on UMD with viephoria on the umd) ...

even though i have long since liked smashing pumpkins, i would probably buy something like that..

as for just music.. no. it'd be a waste of space to fite one cd length album onto umd.

That would rock. You could cram like five CDs on one UMD!

That digi, would be worthy of a purchase. Imagine viephoria and the video collection and Judas O and Siamese dream all on one UMD. Oh how splendid.

nickrip...what albums do you ever buy with two songs on them?!

And the idea behind UMD albums is that they will indeed feature exclusive video content. If it's carried out with enough respect and attention, it would be impossible for real fans (the ones who still pay for their music) of music to not be excited at the possibilities.

melloncollie, I was hoping you'd comment on that... I mean not only would viewphoria and siamese dream, gush and the erlier EP's on one umd be totally awesome.. and i'd buy it in a second..

Imagine nine inch nails broken, fixed, and all other EP's on one disk with the broken video that was banned in the US (very violent and graphic)..

Or faith no more albums with all the videos and a couple live shows..

I mean UMD music could be a great Idea if utilized like that of a DVD with special features.. music and video/videos

It all depends on the cost, compared to amount of music...if there is over a GB worth of music, then i won't waste my memory on music.
