Moderators renege on their promise to Mac users

Previously, one of the moderators had stated that, despite a relatively small percentage of club members using Mac OS X, there would be alternatives for Mac users when the Musicology experience launches. The Mac OS X version of WMP 9 does not support level 2 digital rights managed files.

Could any of the moderators comment on whether or not there's a solution for Mac users? It would be much appreciated.

We believe that it will work in the Mac OSX version of WMP9. But we will not guarantee that. But u r welcome 2 try it out.

Be your guinea pig? Geez, please, can I? I'm now feeling welcome to go visit some other certain sites. This isn't rocket science. They should've kept their mouths shut if they weren't sure, or at least say, "we're really sorry, this stinks for Mac users, we are working hard on a solution"

How can they say that when they a month ago said it wouldn't work on a mac and there was a huge discussion about this both here and on the U Tell Us Forum, which led to this comment.

[quote="PaisleyPark9"]Even tho Mac users only represent about 2% of the total users of the NPG Music Club worldwide, we do plan on having alternatives 4 Mac users in regard 2 the MUSICOLOGY Download Store.[/quote]

Anyone have the original quote where they said they were using the newer Microsoft DRM that isn't supported on the Mac?
