Microsoft's Online Music Store to Launch Thursday, September 2nd
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 10:30 AM
"Microsoft Corp., hoping to take a bite out of Apple Computer Inc.'s highly popular online music service, is gearing up to launch its own Web site for selling songs over the Internet. With Thursday's planned debut, the software maker will become the latest competitor in a market experts say is still in its infancy - but one that is expected to grow considerably more popular in the coming years."
I'm really looking forward to this and am cautiously optimistic that it will be quite good. I hope. :-) What would it need to have to impress me? 160 kbps to 192 kbps audio quality, be available in Canada, and have DRM that actually works properly. Which reminds me, I still have to rant about Puretracks and their busted DRM model...
