p2pnet.net News:- Here’s a corporate music store effort that’ll give Apple pause, even though it’s selling the same tired 750,000 tracks from the usual suspects.

It’s the AT&T mMode Music Store offering Big Four music cartel tunes online from yet another corporate download site —— or via a wireless phone.

Powered by Loudeye, owner of file-share scalp-hunters Overpeer, and using Microsoft Windows Media Audio 9 (WMA) and Windows Media DRM, it’s the first ’service’ of its kind in the US, promise the trio.

Subscribers can search and browse the available music catalog by genre, artist, or song.

When a track is selected, PC users or users with compatible handsets will hear a 30-second sample and can then buy it for – you guessed it – the now standard dollar-a-download rip-off.
