Looking forward to checking this out more. I've heard some comments from artists - they're surprised.

Do you know if the music can be downloaded as individual mp3 (or similar) files, or just available to download to play in their player? which I assume would not be free of adverstisements?

But Warner Music said it had not authorised the use of its tracks by Qtrax - and later Universal Music Group and EMI followed suit, saying they did not have licensing deals with Qtrax and discussions were continuing.
Justin Kazmark, a spokesman for New York-based Qtrax, has declined to comment.

Boy this was a quick way to get links to your site EVERYWHERE for free, eh?

This is a case of a startup with a great idea moving before it had signatures on paper.
Unfortunately, it will probably mean the death of this little company because none of the big 4 will want to sign now.

I downloaded the GUI last night. Has an iTunes sort of feel to it. Advertisement banners on the right as well. Have to figure out how to download. Wasnt spending much time with it. I was more interested in converting my old Albums to mp3's with my new turntable.
