So, this is the service I decided to try out. It lets you listen to a lot of popular music on streaming audio; you can use pre-set "radio stations" or pre-set playlists, or you can select songs you like and create your own playlists. You can hit fast forward in any of these, including the "radio stations", which is a nice feature. For 99 cents a track, you can burn legal copies of the music (some of the music; some of it you can only listen to, and some they don't have, depending on what they were able to license; each is clearly labelled).

Unfortunately, we've pretty well gotten to the end of the positive statements there. Detailed analysis of technical and customer service failings - and just the ones I ran into, at that. )

Net recommendation: don't bother.
