Sofar every song I found costs at least a dollar. Not that I could actually buy one since the links do not work. Maybe Microsoft does not like Mozilla. I am curious to find out whether they actually offer high-quality MP3 files or only their rotten proprietary file format.
Who would have thought that music from independent artists ends up on a web server of the convicted monopolist.

It's a shame really, because when they were a going concern, I downloaded, for absolutely free, quite a few mp3.com tunes in genuine .mp3 format (hence the name), and nothing cost me a dollar. Plus, they had some wonderful, one-of-a-kind songs. What has M$ done? Convert everything to drm'd .wma stuff? (Thanks but no thanks).
And I really don't care if Micro$oft likes Mozilla or not -- as a recent convert, I certainly do. (Firefox/Thunderbird combo). I grew tired of wiping my hard drives due to viruses, and having to constantly download and install the newest "critical" windows-update every few days to plug the ever-increasing holes and patch-up the security breaches popping up everywhere.
Hell, I don't even need to use a pop-up-stopper any more!
I think the former mp3.com catalogue of songs is in real crummy hands now. -- Pity --
