MSN Music Store

I'm surprised no one posted about this yet. It's in beta untill Oct. From first glance it looks alright. I didn't buy anything becasue I'm not a fan of wma and don't want to be a .Net member.

Thought I would post and cheer you up! :wavey2:

The online sites are easy to use if you know what you are looking for. It is harder to browse and try something new that looks intersting. Even radio stations don't announce what they are playing as often so even if you do hear something you like it can be hard to find what it is. I like the prices of music online but miss the experience of being in a record store and finding some treasure you had forgotten about or hearing them playing something that makes you stop and buy it.
