Here is a good site about the DRM farce:

I read that the DRM scammers are working with the iBiquity scammers.
DRM for SW seems about as dead as AM-IBOC:

"Why don't you use DRM on Shortwave?"

"Some large companies are pushing DRM by convincing program producers
and broadcasters to start airing in DRM ahead of time, but unless
there is mass availability and penetration of receivers on the
listeners side, this will remain - unfortunately - a technological
experiment, and broadcasters using it to reach their listeners now,
are clearly throwing their money out of the window."

Of course the DRM Consortium, just like with iBiquity, won't admite
that their technology is dead. �Wow, only about three very expensive
DRM receviers available, and HD radios are being pulled from store
shelves, and in-dash HD radios are moving to only "HD Ready".

"Are oldies the only ones interested in radios?"

This seems to be the case, since the advent of personal music players
in the form of MP3 and IPOD type products. Young people have embraced
these formats and have tended to only use radios infrequently or at
best when traveling in their motor cars, because of the convenience
factor.

This perceived older market for radio products has even influenced the
styling and cosmetics of the products currently available. With many
radios having looks that date back to the early days of radio,
obviously targeting the older market.

At least these DRM morons are honest and admit that only the old coots
will be interested. Looks like these morons got their pathetic
marketing strategies from the HD Radio Alliance. Digital radio is one
big carny-shill!
