Once again, un-imaginative designers and .NOT developers rip a Apple product of. Not only that you must be using Winblows on IE for no apparent reason. Utter crap.........

Com-pe-ti-tion, whats that? Says Monkey Boy.

They didn't copy Apple.  Apple allows you to download from more than one browser.
 

I hate Cumguzlersoft, but I suppose you gathered that from the colourful nickname.

And it begins.....Webpage

Don't lie. You need ActiveX to install DRM licenses for your downloaded music. To prevent piracy, they're using WMA with WMP9.

Since you can only run DRMed music in WMP9 in Windows, it really _doesn't_matter_.

Apple expects to be able to have windows machines use the iTunes stores by the end of the year.

what's the big deal? Apple dropped the ball, they don't support Windows or Linux users at all. they basically cut themselves out of 90% of the market. buymusic.com is just filling in the market for the remaining 90% of computer users.

Its not what their doing, its how they are doing it. They copy apples comercials verbatim.

Not only that their service is inferior.

I am personaly confident Apples iTunes for PC will be a big hit
Psyjax! I RULEZZZZ!!! HAR HAR HAR
