Not gonna fly until it's as good as the competition
I applaud efforts like this--it's what I've been calling for all
along, a smart businessman to come along and capitalize on the
obvious demand for songs delivered in this manner. Rather than
trying to squash the technology, the RIAA should have (long ago)
jumped onboard and used it to turn a profit.

That said, this ain't gonna fly until it's at least the equal of the
programs it's trying to displace. It falls behind p2p networks in
that the files are completely restricted and can't be used
anywhere other than your computer (not to mention that it's
Windows only). It even falls behind iTunes in those respects.

When it can offer me as much as iTunes offers, I'll consider it a
contender. Until then, it doesn't stand a chance.
