Online Music Stores Compared
prostoalex writes "DesignTechnica has a comparison of the leading online music stores. With the variety of services available they only concentrated on several top ones. Conclusion? 'If you simply want to download music from the charts, then Yahoo and Wal-Mart are your cheapest options. For your MP3 player, there are several options, with Yahoo the best of all. If you're an iPod owner... then you're stuck with iTunes.'"
If I'm paying $1.00 for 3 minutes of music, it's not too much to ask Apple to keep track of each 16 character array/string/uniqueID of all the music I download.
If you connect to iTunes after, say, a fresh install of iTunes and there are no music files, it should prompt you to login and then re-download everything you've ever bought based on matching your userID up to each uniqueSongID you downloaded.
Not that difficult, and it'd go a long way toward customer satisfaction.

If you're gonna pay all that money to "legally" download/buy your music, you should probably do it with a service that's ACTUALLY LEGAL, which AllOfMP3 is not.
AllOfMP3 customers should just stick to downloading music they don't own since it's no more breaking the law than using their illegal Russian service.

2 platforms does not constitute multiplatform. There are way more than 2 platforms out there. I really don't get why so few companies make software for Linux. I know it has a small userbase, but so does mac, and they got tons of software.

Vertically Integrated? What the fuck does that mean?
