Technical Woes For Legal Downloading

Technical difficulties could keep students from warming to legal file-swapping programs, if complaints at the University of Maryland at College Park are any indication. Many students there say they are impressed with the selection of songs available on Cdigix, a music-and-movie-downloading service that the university is offering on a trial basis. But some of those students have grumbled that the service isn’t compatible with popular Web browsers like Mozilla’s Firefox—and that the songs they download aren’t formatted for use with Apple’s popular iTunes software.
