Price will be around $60 per month for "all you can eat" from Sanity's 1 million song library.

The Sanity music store will be integrated into Windows Media 11.

The idea is fine but it's down to the file format. Any DRM is going to get in the way because my computer file viewing solution only supports audio DRM.

"We have a wonderful archive, we have as rich material as anyone else has and we want to make that available to people," he told AAP.

"We have 75 years of radio and 50 years of TV.

"There are jewels there that people will want to take advantage of, but using new technology."

My desire to see some Live At The Wireless archives to be released is getting closer. Although given the amount of work discussing the release with artists I doubt it will happen.

The ABC currently has podcasts in unrestricted MP3 format and video available for streaming online (no downloads).

They both come in newly shaped and coloured packets. The packets have rounded edges and have a smaller footprint than their top. The Tic Tacs themselves are white. The packets still hold 18 grams.

The top is silver and rounded/domed instead of the usual white and square. The opening for Tic Tacs is noticeably smaller and oval. Shaped just larger than a Tic Tac. This appears to be deliberate, to allow only one Tic Tac through at once.

The taste is indeed quite strong and decidedly unTic-Tac. It's not minty in any way. I'm reminded of other lollies but I can't place them. I wouldn't describe it as sweet. I can't put my finger on any particular fruit flavour.

After a few seconds the taste calms down a little and it's very nice. At this stage I'm reminded of the old hot Warheads (which appear to have been erased from history). Reminded not of taste, but in the way they would kill you with taste then calm down into a pleasant after taste while the candy fell to dust.

Update: It seems Bold! Fruit isn't too popular. Check out opinions from the masses at eBay forums and South Maryland Online. I don't think they're that bad.
