Re: [xwax-devel] ms pinky status

[Tyson H. <p.y...@gm...>]

Serato's timecode is freely available. I don't think it's licensed for
replication other than personal use, but both NI and Serato do not
hold strict licenses to their copyright on their timecode.

MsPinky refuses to distribute even the pressed vinyl disks except to
customers of their full system and only makes a Windows API available
for processing timecode information - making development of a cross
platform timecode reader difficult and possibly illegal, and is
generally unnatractive - Serato vinyl can be had for U$10-15 each, and
MsPinky vinyl is not only very difficult to acquire but is more
expensive.

With such a low barrier of entry and no particularly strong benifit to
using MsPinky vinyls over Serato Vinyls... It's probably just not
going to happen.
