MSN music beta
Posted by Sandy
You can see a preview of the MSN Music store right now at beta.music.msn.com. Follow this link for details.
First look: the site works in every browser I've tried, and does not require any special software to sign in. It's interesting (and a bit weird) that the site includes advertising for non-music products ("Sponsored Sites"), and the links for "TV" and "MOVIES" suggest a future strategy for "MSN Entertainment" (not just tunes).
Update: Still no luck for Canadians. MSN Music appears to be U.S. only.

Yawn.... A year+ late to the party and this is all they come up with? It does offer WMA files for people who don't have iPods but so do 10 other download sites (some at better prices). Maybe Microsoft is just playing? The downloads are 160 kbps (iTMS and others are around 128 kbps) but then WMA needs a higher compression rate to sound as good as AAC.... http://www6.tomshardware.com/consumer/20020712/2u4u-05.html (green is original, blue is AAC, yellow is WMA, red is mp3 at the same bit rate).
