Apple is planning to do the same (must have seen our site..), but with any luck, you won't see them here for the next ?? years.
Honestly, we like Apple but it was so frustrating to wait so long that we decided to do something better.
Worked with the major recording labels over this for a year and hammered out a great deal for everyone... good quality top hit cheap music !
Sure there is the DRM element, Apple has them too... but how else to bring the price so low .... I mean if you download 100 songs a month, that comes out to $0.10 a song, how can you beat that ?
I think subscription is the way to go, every month got new song and you want to shell out $$$ for CD an rip them ? Got no time no money.. but can afford callerID... $10-15 is not too much to ask.
Also the ownership issue is moot point, in today's new media, what can you really own ? When you buy software or music CD, you own the plastic, not the software/song/artist. Would you want that for your own creation ?
Our quest is to make it like a great buffet dinner, good value, great range, top quality... and no, you can't put in a doggie bag to go..
Unless you can think of a better solution that makes the labels and artist happy and still get what you want for less... and still be legal... I am all ears...
The site is work in progress so we will clear up those visual quality issues... we just need to know where...
BTW, please test the newer beta site at dev.geetune.com and not the www.geetune.com (that was older).
More new (really new, like everyday fresh uploads) music in the dev.geetune.com website...

hi i received ur email and am downloading a song right now to try it out..
i like the way u can grab and move around the album pictures, very innovative.
BUT. the download speeds are pretty slow...
right now im downloading a song at 30Kbps... this is quite pathetic to the 1.3Mbps i get when downloading a song or even movie trailer from itunes, and if im correct those servers are based in america.
one other small suggestion.. i cant find the newest popular songs.. if i were to sign up for a service such as urs, which i look forward to doing at some point i would only do it if i could get the newest songs.
cheers
hope i was helpful.
