Oh Great, Yet Another 0.99 cent download site
Like we need another music store...I understand why MS is doing this...our company offers products at times to completely meet the needs of customers that buy MOST of their product from us but have one or two things they would otherwise have to buy from someone else.

Still, for $0.99, I won't buy music songs. Plenty of other sources are selling for less, like RealRhapsody and Apple's music store (if you subscribe to a monthly fee).

So many choices to buy online are popping up. Surely there cannot be THAT much market for downloads of compromised quality music (i.e. not full CD quality). Competition has got to reduce this at some point.
