Musical Toy

Despite my love of technology, I'm not always an early adapter. But lately I've been fascinated by Lala. It may be garbage and someone will explain why I should feel guilty for posting this, but my first impressions are happy:
  1. I can buy DRM-free MP3s there cheaper than Amazon and iTunes.
  2. I can sample any song or album in its collection (in its entirety), once, for free.
  3. I can "upload" my entire music collection (4000+ songs) and stream it through any connected computer (including, presumably, the iPhone).
  4. I can embed and share most music or music playlists wherever I want, regardless of whether I own it, with anyone.
  5. I have the option of buying a web-only (no MP3, but unlimited online access) version of any song for 10 cents (albums are roughly a dollar), and I can buy the MP3 later for cost minus 10 cents.
I just needed to get some marketing tool out of my system. :P I'm headed for the shower... but first, some music!
