    From CNet:

    Apple Computer is expected next week to expand its online music service to Windows-based computers.

    The Mac maker has scheduled an event for next Thursday at San Francisco's Moscone West convention hall. "The year's biggest music story is about to get even bigger," Apple said in an invitation to journalists.

    The company is expected to launch the long-awaited Windows version of the iTunes Music Store at the event, according to Wall Street brokerage Needham. Apple earlier said it would release the Windows service sometime before the end of the year.

    This of course means that the PC version of iTunes will be released at the same time! Yay! :D

    Whilst MusicMatch is OK, the interface leaves a lot to be desired....

    UPDATE - It's out now!

    Downloaded it last night, and it :rock:

    Knocks MusicMatch into a a cocked hat. Even if you don't own a iPod, give it a go. It's a very good MP3 / AAC player in it's own right.

    Can anyone explain what it does. We use in the mac labs here at uni and as far as I know it's just a big database of free music. I didn't see anything about buying songs.... :confused:
