The nag? You can't download the songs nor burn the songs for that price, obviously. The price applies only to a single listening experience, but at £0.01 each ($0.0181 or €0.0150), it sounds rather tempting offer. More permanent downloads, that can also be transferred to portable audio players that support Microsoft's Windows Media 9 specs, users have to pay £0.75 ($1.36, €1.13) per song.
As the online music industry is still very much in its infancy in the Europe, the stakes are high for the companies to gain the "critical mass" and the brand recognition across the continent before the market gets saturated with similar services.
