Quick Take: The thing we love the most about the Audio Lunchbox service is that when you pay for digital music, the company provides songs that can be played on any digital audio device, regardless of OGG formats--your choice, as the ZIP file you purchase typically contains both, as well as album art. The only problem with such a beautiful, open approach is that it scares away major labels and many indies, who license their songs only to services that wrap their tunes in DRM protection--à la iTunes Music Store--limiting playback to certain devices, among other restrictions. That's why you won't find tunes from Outkast on Audio Lunchbox, though the service lists more than 100,000 songs from indie artists such as Bettie Serveert.

Great! A boon for Mac users where no ITMS exists!by Rod Hagen - September 30, 2005
Pros: Mac Friendly and a great music selection
Cons: none seen yet
Review:
For people like me living in Australia (or any other country where the wars between the record companies and Apple prevent an ITMS being set up) its great to find a pay per track music download service that can be used with Macs and iPods.
Nice selection of music for my needs too.
Cheers
