Another punch has been thrown at Apple's iTunes Music Store as Walmart has launched its own download service. The question is whether or not it will land.

Don't Walmart censor their CDs? Will the MP3s also be altered?

No DRM. Simple MP3s

Sometimes a bit slow, but all in all a Good Thing :-)

Watermarked MP3s ftl.

Still slow, slow progress towards the holy grail of selling lossless digital audio with no DRM! Come on, somebody's got to do it!

For all that, 50p a track is pretty reasonable.

You may as well sell your soul to the higher bidder while your at it.

That's complete bo****** - if its done right, and MP3 is almost as good as a CD (and probably better then a lightly scratched CD)
