Puretracks.com Enters The Online Music Fray

Posted by timothy on from the enjoy-the-long-canadian-winter dept.

Greedo writes "Two articles, one from the CBC and one from The Globe and mail report that puretracks.com has launched, offering 99-cent (Canadian dollars) downloads for music tracks. As a Canadian who wishes Apple would get their iTunes Music Store available to non-US customers, this may be the alternative I've been waiting for. Although I think they only offer .WMV files (boo)." Check out mgoyer's " rough review" of the service.

  1. and that's what you get by smcavoy · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    for expecting your IIS webserver to standup to a *real* load level.
    I mean come on, they server audio to make money yet their web server can't handle a /.ing
    That's just poor design, whatever platform you use.

    Now if they actually only use wmv, that would suck for all those who can't/won't browse them.
