I delurk, therefore I am.
Rather interesting opinion article on the Bittorrent stuff: [link] Says that the MPAA's actions are just going to incite hackers to come up with a better tool--say, a version of Bittorrent that's decentralized.
And this CNET article says that the Nova that was supr folks are already working on one: [link]

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Where/how is the best place to get one song online? I've seen you mention various places, but I'm willing to drop a dollar or so just to get a copy of Ozzy's "Mama I'm Comin' Home." I've got a dial-up connection on Win98 with IE6. There's got to be some place that panders to my run-of-the-mill setup.

Have you tried iTunes?
Which reminds me -- MusicMatch JukeBox has a super-tagging feature which tries to look up an MP3 in the CDDB based on its filename. Very good for clearing up stuff that was sloppily tagged.
I can't find that functionality in iTunes. Does it exist?

Not tried anyplace, yet. Figured I'd ask the experts.
