How about the first sentence?

"Lala's business model of selling and hosting digital music was a complete abhorrence to an innovative music startup -- named Lala."

Wait what? Like google asks, did you mean

Ross,
Stick to one-liners like your classless Ellen/Nook "coming out" joke.

Perhaps you should "step up flirtation" with your St. Martin's handbook, too. This article was an "abhorrence," after all. ]]>Dec 9th 2009 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/switched-on-apples-song-remains-the-same/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/switched-on-apples-song-remains-the-same/

Screw Lala, they only let you listen to songs once. Try Grooveshark.com instead. You can listen to all the music you want and keep hundreds of songs in playlists for free. They have nearly everything I've ever looked for. It's ad-driven but they let you pay $3/month to remove them and have an endless collection.

good community
good sampling

i think "abhorrence" is a very strong word to use.

A precedent was set that downloading music / movies is not illegal. some deem it ethically wrong, however justice does not rule on right or wrong, it rules on illegal or legal.

1. Will they make it international? I can't imagine Apple wouldn't, but it's undeniably tough to secure rights to this type of model worldwide.

2. Goodbye Android app? You know, the Android app the Lala Team said they were working on? (Read Wired.com's article) Will Apple kill it so they won't have to support another platform?

3. Will they position Lala to compete with Spotify (which is supposed to be launching in the US soon)? I love Lala and 10 cents is dirt cheap, but it's tough to compete with free.]]>Dec 8th 2009 6:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/switched-on-apples-song-remains-the-same/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/switched-on-apples-song-remains-the-same/
We have Spotify over here. I laughed when I read the “gives users one full free play of any song in its library” bit.

It doesn't really compare with several million, on demand, for free (ad supported). I can't help but think Apple brought the wrong company.]]>Dec 8th 2009 8:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/switched-on-apples-song-remains-the-same/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/switched-on-apples-song-remains-the-same/Dec 8th 2009 6:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/switched-on-apples-song-remains-the-same/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/switched-on-apples-song-remains-the-same/Dec 8th 2009 6:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/switched-on-apples-song-remains-the-same/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/switched-on-apples-song-remains-the-same/Dec 8th 2009 6:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/switched-on-apples-song-remains-the-same/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/switched-on-apples-song-remains-the-same/
