    I signed up for this and love it. Really easy to use and one less piece of equipment for me to deal with.

    As a bonus for musicians, it makes it REALLY easy to buy and consume music, so it should help to increase sales of what you’ve got on Amazon.

    One of the most amazing thing about the service, perhaps from the artist perspective, but from my experience trying the service, is that it makes it VERY easy to buy/add albums and listen right away. This could potentially increase the rate of sales.

    I have to say it’s about time someone did this! Ever since Apple bought out Lala.com & killed it, I’ve been waiting for something like this to come along. There are other alternatives out there, but I really liked Lala’s set up & interface. This is exactly what music fans are looking for. I just recently had to go through my 30+ Gigs of music on my HDD, what a nightmare! Let’s hope this really takes off.
