I'd be happy if proven wrong.

Yeah, I'm still waiting for one myself... :evil:

So, it was okay when people were stealing just a little bit back in the day? And now that it's easier it's abhorrable? There are many good arguments against file sharing, but this not one of them.

IMHO, the masses are against file sharing because it's just not as easy as dubbing a cassette tape. If the average Boomer could figure out how to load up a file sharing client and browse for music, it would be a non-issue.

I am convinced that it's worth the $9.95 per month JUST FOR THE STREAMING. Even if I never burn another CD with the service, I've started to really appreciate the ability to find and listen to all the songs I love. Their selection of older tunes is amazing and I've been able to find each and every song I've wanted, including the amazing Peter Frampton's "Do You Feel Like We Do?" WOW!!!!

I agree. I've been in music heaven. I especially enjoy the radio stations. If you haven't tried this yet, look up one of your favorite artists and then click on the radio station based on that artist. You're sure to hear lots of tunes you're familiar with and enjoy, as well as ones you may not know, but are still likely to enjoy.

And it's a good way to try out albums and see if you really want to buy them. I have a few albums queued up that I've been listening to -- the listen-on-demand thing is really nice -- and if I decide I can't live without them, I'll probably go to the store and buy them. If not, I still don't have to pay the $1 per song download, because I can still listen to them on my computer whenever I want (I just can't take them with me).

I bought a cable to hook up my computer to my stereo, so I'm even getting fairly decent sound!

Thanks for pointing us to this service.
