    Another DRM infested piece of crap. However, does what it says. No crashes or slowdowns on the system, sound is good. so, if your into support RIAA .. this is a better option then napster or other services.
    I know somone who paid a dollar through itunes to get a song he wanted, adn later found it on a compiltion(sp?) cd. the CD was 1.00 at a flea market.... bas**** broke the boycott.... ah well, some just don't care.

    I agree with Neoprimal. Virgin Digital's "Music insurance" is certainly a great step ahead. I'm rating a 5 because of this advance in both logic and ethics, but I have *not* tested this music service: some may consider a healthier product is pointless if tasteless, or less tasty. i'll have to taste ;)

    Freakishly novel idea. FINALLY. The thieves over at Itunes sell you songs for a dollar, but God help you if your hard drive goes or your portable device (whatever you STORE your music on). I have NEVER understood why Music Download services couldn't keep a record of whatever MP3s you buy so that in the event that you lose your MP3s (or there is some license mixup), you could simply download your songs again. Now you know why - cuz' they're all thieves. I welcome this program with open arms. I can finally BUY my music again without fear.

    1. it s a good idea.
    2. they need to add more musics and more servers, so people outside us and UK can download faster.
    3. More flexible things

    What, you can't burn the songs you download from them unless you pay an extra $0.99 fee?
