Sounds good! Now all they need to do is open their doors to the Canadian market, I wouldn't mind trying something other than iTunes, but I dont see me moving to the States for an online music service.
No DRM, gleat, but enough with the MP3 clap alleady! Let's get into LOSSLESS DRM-free music. FLAC, etc. I never bought cassettes, and I'll never pay for lossy mp3's. ;-)
