What I'd suggest is that the cost of downloading a track (one cent per megabyte) is very much subject to variation. The larger an operation you run, the lower your bandwidth costs probably are on a per-meg basis. Also, bandwidth costs tend to decrease over time in a similar fashion to the way CPU power becomes cheaper year on year, so in the medium term the cost of downloading one meg of data could be expected to decrease fairly significantly. Once you drop down to much lower costs-per-meg, the commerical model would work a lot better. Brendan
