what's the big deal? Apple dropped the ball, they don't support Windows or Linux users at all. they basically cut themselves out of 90% of the market. buymusic.com is just filling in the market for the remaining 90% of computer users.

Ermmmm, yes the do / will. iTunes for PC is due the end of this year. It would be OK is the "filling in" for the 90% actually worked and was a quality service, with the customer in mind. Not a cheap rip-off knocked up with M$.NOT.

The biggest part of it is the requirement of WM9...Active wreX...ugh! So I guess it has to be XP / IE / WM9, bha.

I wouldn't mind if they at least tried to come up with something of their own, design wise. Or even functionality or flow wise. I hate this lack of imagination on BuyMusic's part.

you might get WM9P to work in WINE or VMWARE. or someone could just write a plugin for xine, or xmms.

or they could just have support for the rapidly growing *nix commmunity.
