Finally, there's an online service that let's you buy music and download it -- by the track or the whole album -- without having to pay a monthly subscription fee, listen to your tracks only while onine, can't burn to CD, or any of the other nonsense that keeps people who WOULD pay for downloading music on pirating services like Morpheus instead.

Unfortunately, even though the service is targetted at users of the multi-platform iPod, you have to use a Mac to access Apple's new music store.

Good news for Mac users -- and maybe they'll have a Windows version soon. Or maybe some of the other services will get the hint.
