Cyberlink are adding 7digital’s music store to the forthcoming version 12 of PowerDVD, you will be able to browse and purchase DRM-free music directly from PowerDVD and then sync sings ti mobile devices. It looks like Cyberlink are trying to push PowerDVD as an all in one media solution rather than just a DVD player. A good idea or is it bloating the product?
