Well, I just downloaded my first two songs the other night. Winamp wouldn't play them, said that the song was unlicensed and windows media said the same thing but gave a link.. click that and it automatically updated and worked fine(on wma). I think this is where the whole entertainment industry is headed. I bought my dad a 20gb 'jukebox'(by creative) for xmas and my wife got a Sony Minidisc walkman. My dad can plug the jukebox into his car radio, that I bought him for xmas 2 years ago(auxliary output). Its also useful for him because he works on a tugboat and can take the jukebox from home, listen to the music files on the drive to work(probably 10 hrs) and then transfer files from the jukebox to the computer on the tug once he gets there(its not just for music). I think in the future we will be downloading almost all our music and entertainment ei.movies from the internet. They have DVD players available now that play cdr, jpeg and wma files.

Walmart also has the option to download the whole album for cheaper than the .88 a song price. I bought the new Nickelback cd (16 songs, great cd btw) and it cost me over $14 and I could have downloaded the whole cd for $9.44. I like having the case and art and all that but the bottom line is the music. I honestly believe this is the future of home entertainment. I think, before too long, we will all carry our own hard drive filed with the **** that we personally love on it.

I've also believed for many years that the cable companies and phone companies would eventually merge.. guess we'll see.
