MSN Music reviewed

"MSN Music (music.msn.com) is by far the most capable rival to Apple's iTunes Music Store, even if it doesn't yet surpass it," says The Washington Post.

"Shopping the store is a pleasure, whether in Microsoft's Windows XP-only Windows Media Player 10 or through a Web interface (you can only buy using the Windows version of Internet Explorer). Type what you want into a search form and results are cleanly presented a moment later; each track shown comes with a 30-second sample and a rating, from one to five stars, based on other users' input. This search engine will offer to correct typos, even the most obscure -- it fixed my attempt to spell Einsturzende Neubauten."
