Digital Home Thoughts: Walmart Launches Music Store, 88 Cent Songs

Walmart, perhaps the biggest name in bricks 'n mortar retail today, has launched their online music store. From a UI standpoint, it's a bit of a mess, because they've stuck it in with their online store. Looks like they're using WMA, and they've set up the DRM to allow you to download it to one other computer, back it up to two additional computers (what's the difference between a download and a back up?), make 10 burns to a CD, and make unlimited transfers to a portable music player. How does that strike you? Fair? Unfair? How does that compare with iTunes?

Unfortunately, this is another US-only deal :roll:, so one of you will have to tell me more about this new service.
