It's no longer a news flash. It is a waiting game of who will come crubling down first and how hard. I predict the last one's standing will be the first ones here, Real Networks and Musicmatch because they offer other features. Unless Mr. Jobs enjoys losing money or can reinvent the iPod a thousand times over to keep them flying off the shelves. This business model sucks with it's 7 cent profit margin (if any), Eminem sueing for damages and over $125 million spent in advertising alone even the market leader Apple could easily go under. And here's an iPod full, what in the world will you do if apple stops supporting your habbit? At least with WMA you have choice of services. I Love Apple! (I'm a musicain) I Like Windows (well Windows gets the job done) but you should all do what I do... Buy CDs!!!!!!!!!!! RB There is no money to be made in legal downloads. It’s no longer a news flash.

Then they will want more. And the 'legal' sites don't have much. I searched for Boys Brigade....'Melody'. Best to go back to the old way of getting music!
