Nice - it'll be interesting to see what happens with this. I suspect with that pricing policy the likes of Sarah McLachlan and Avril Lavigne will remain free then

Looks good however it seems that bit has killed the site...

Hi, we're currently upgrading for increased traffic. Sorry for the inconvenience. We'll be back up in a second. We miss you already.

Why do you think the site is down?

All those fake MP3 files people downloaded from RIAA "agents" or whatnot are actually very very state of the art Trojans, and as a poor sap who has one of them, their computer is now a bot in the RIAA bot network...

and currently, your bot is DDoSing this companies website... :/

I'm sure the RIAA is already winding up it's lawyers.

Speaking of which, the head of the RIAA was on (I think it was) The Ed Schultz Show on Air America (left wing radio). First time I've had Air America turn my stomach

hehehe harsh! This does sound brilliant, my only gripe is that I like a lot of crazy music and it does kinda seem like this is only popular artists. Think they might expand and time goes by?

If they do, ChromeX, I should hope they do wave rips. Like Kipman I can no longer listen to mp3, it's just not the same.
