more of the same here:
http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2011/03/qtrax-offers-free-music-downloads-in-a-silverlight-player/

Sounds like those "down under" tend to get hosed in the music scene. And it also sounds like no tech savvy music fans are going to flock to DRM crippled Qtrax.

Aacdude, if you have a moment, could you share what you think of Silverlight? I'm not entirely certain I grasp the entire concept- is this a competitor to HTML5? Why can't we just have browsers for goodness sake? I suspect Qtrax uses it as its client merely for the DRM control, and unlike media player, it doesn't seem as picky as to what platform it runs on, but I'm just guessing.

In any case, I'd be interested in any commentary you may have on the subject. At least it isn't flash, I suppose...
