	BetaNews \| Virgin Joins Online Music Fray
		Branson's Virgin Digital service, which is available as a free download, capitalizes on the strength of the Virgin record label to offer customers a "virtual Virgin Megastore" stocked with over 1 million songs for download.
		Certainly Virgin does that one better with their monthly subscription price and it would be tempting were it not for their reputation and DRM, BUT then my dander gets in an uproar because it's only available in WMP format.
		Anyway this Virgin Digital music store is quite good, I mean large, very large music selection (they claim they have 1,000,000), they are powered by MusicNet, I used their AOL service which carried some exclusive artists other subscription-based services don't, and I assume Virgin's the same.
