nebulous bee writes "Yahoo is reporting on a new piece of home stereo equipment going on sale in Japan that has an ethernet port that can be linked directly to an online music store. You can purchase new music using the unit's built-in LCD display and hear it 'instantly'. No PC required. There are no plans to sell it yet outside of the land of the rising sun."

Your right, why pay for it when I can simply jump on a p2p network, download a file, realize that it's only half the song, download another file , realize that it's a virus, download another file, verify that it's the correct song, startup my CD Burning software, burn it to a CD and finally play it in my stereo.

OR... just pay the 2 bucks, download it and play it on my stereo.
