Boing Boing: Coldplay's new CD has rules: No MP3s, no DVD players, no car stereos Don't bother buying Coldplay's new CD, unless you only want to listen to music on that chic retro Discman in your closet. Two interesting and important quotes:

• "Windows OS also uses the latest files. This CD does not support Macintosh PC software" - translation: we can't compromise your Mac with our DRM software, so I hope you're not a mac user. Even if you are....
• "Except for manufacturing problems, we do not accept product exchange, return or refund."

Fan-tastic. I don't remember the last time I bought a CD. I've purchased a few songs from the iTunes music store. Ever since iTunes 6 came out and I can't unlock my music, I haven't bought any of those either. I don't need their new crappy locked-down music. At least this album is available on iTunes, from which you can burn a normal CD that will play in your car Technorati Tags: DRM, Coldplay, RIAA, boycott, music, CDs
