Sure, it's great from a user's perspective but I think they're going to bankrupt themselves if the licensing fees don't change. It's one cent per song per user. Techcrunch says they need an average of $65 revenue per user to break even. That just seems extremely unrealistic, but maybe they know something we don't.

Also see the French site www.blogmusik.net which enables on-demand music by aggregating MP3s posted to blogs.
