That's quite a hit they'll be taking. They'd want to believe their player was pretty good if they're willing to pay for all those songs... I'm not convinced it will work unless their device is amazing. It'd be interesting to know what file-formats they're using in this player as well. If it's only wma and wmv I'd be disappointed, but probably not surprised. Cool, thanks.

They'll actually scan iTunes for purchased tracks and then automatically add those to your account. Microsoft will still have to pay the rights-holders for the songs, but they believe it'll be worth it to acquire converts to their new player." http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/06/microsoft-planning-wifi-enabled-portable-media-player-working-o/ Hey dude, here’s something interesting:
