Sony Music Service Review

In spite of everything I know about Sony and how anal the company is about "legally" owning music, I did a really stupid thing and tried out Connect Music, the music download service offered by Sony. The application is hard to install, with constant prompts about Windows Media Player 10 (which I already had installed for pity's sake) and how Windows may not work anymore if I continued with the installation. Then, once I did get the blasted app installed, trying to get the music downloaded was HELL. Disable the firewall. Clear Internet temp files. Clear cookies. Open port 8080. WTF? It was bad - the company should have paid me $10 to download the music I wanted. To top it off, now that I finally have the music, my computer is the only place I can play it. Oh, I can make a CD as long as the only place I want to play it is on my computer. That is the last time I do intentional business with Sony - EVER. If you are thinking about Connect Music - DON'T DO IT. You have been warned. :)
