I hope Apple does the same.  I downloaded the free track and besides
the process of "checking out" (ironic how Amazon's non-One-click
checkout process is not as easy as Apple's) and having to install a
little piece of software, the store works pretty good.

The MP3 with album art just showed up in my iTunes library.  This is a
valid threat to the iTunes Store.  The no-DRM is the key.
