Really good: as easy to set up as iTunes, good selection, fast enough download and cheaper than iTunes; what more could you want?

There's a load of new popular albums on there for damn good prices. I can't see the cheapness lasting long but the whole package looks good. I'm off to try downloading something now.

EDIT: Oh, if you're American you've had this service for ages so ignore us latecomers :)

ANOTHER EDIT: Hey, I see what you mean, it's great!

Mp3's are total shite but it's handy to "Try before you Buy". plus you don't get sleeve notes with mp3.

I certainly don't download proper albums (Travis, classical music and masterpieces), but it's handy for one-off tracks which are catchy but not good enough for it to be worth getting the whole album. I'm personally going over to vinyl for the real classics.

So annoyed! I was just looking to buy a 3 pound cd download when I was stopped by the Territorial Restrictions. So it's ok to buy cds and books from another country but mp3s are not allowed. Same with the US version of the service.
So, it's iTunes or cds, like before.

That works in reverse too, it's really irritating. Equal opportunities for all eh? :|
