Amazing.
Hopefully there's no protection, no hidden anything.
You'll just be able to download and do whatever you want with it.
Hopefully...

EDIT: DOWNLOAD BETA AT MIDNIGHT!

Yeah also I'm hoping there is no CD limit or Track listen limit.

EDIT: I just got finished reading that Tural. <3 Engadget

eh, it's whatever.
Anyways, about the songs -- Will you actually download the file and be able to do whatever you want to with them?

Say I put them on my PSP / iPod -- how would it count how many times it had been played?

Or is that what the protection does? (Doesn't allow you to put them on anything.)

There aren't confirmed details on how it will work. All that is known is that it will be downloadable, as they advertise future use on iPods and the like.

Ah, I see.
Well, I'll see you guys at midnight!

www.reuters.com wrote:The world's biggest music companies, including Warner Music Group Corp and Sony BMG, denied that they have agreed to license songs for a free download service that was launched by Qtrax on Monday.

Qtrax told Reuters and other media outlets last week that it had deals with the major labels representing about 75 percent of all music sales, to let users download songs for free in a new service to be supported by advertising revenue.

***. Figures.

I don't care, I'm still gonna try it out.

Well not every company will go for it. They are actually smart to, if this doesn't work out the way it's supposed to someone is going to be losing a lot of money. They are better off waiting to see if it works out, then join in.

What about Universal?

EDIT

Nvm.

A source close to Universal Music, the largest of the group, said it also had not signed a deal for the new Qtrax service and is still in discussions.

The thing is, yeah, they are smart to wait to see if it picks up. But those are just THREE of the music groups that have denied license to Qtrax. How many people are going to use this and help it pick up if they know that Universal, or Warner bros isn't in?

I will only download this if I can get Japanese music imports, because I am tired of buying one album for one song.
