Hi people!
So I want to buy music off amazon. Has anyone done this before?

The music isn't available in SA so I want to buy it from there. My other question : If I download that music and write it on a cd to listen, how do I proof that I actually own the music?
 
HI guys. I am trying to purchase this:

http://www.amazon.com/Smiling/dp/B0...qid=1383842608&sr=8-1&keywords=monark+smiling

But when I say complete purchase ... it comes up with :

We are sorry...

Dude you need to move into 2013 and use aux input with either a usb stick or something like an ipod. You even get those cheap devices where you plug your usb stick in and tune your radio into the frequency. cops don't give a fk about usb stick, ipods etc nor do they care about copied cd's.

Mp3 cd's are so 90's.

Maybe he doesn't want the terrible audio quality that would come from an FM tuner or aux cable? Not all cars and audio systems have USB ports. Sure, it is quite prehistoric, but it could be the only option.

You dont have to prove it. SA music law is extremley outdated. We dont even recognise mp3's in South Africa. Technically speaking, if you buy a cd and convert to mp3, you are breaking the law.

Sad but true. :D
