User Interface

The web site has broken english, and it's a bit inconsistent but easy to figure out. Once you pick songs, you get a pop up. If the songs are pre-encoded, that just shows you what's in your download basket. If it's online-encoding, you pick how to encode there and check a box if you want email notification.

Once encoded (or if precoded) you can view your download basket and click each one to get it. Better yet, download and install the explorer app they have and it will pull all the files for you, and also show your balances etc.

Download speed for members (anyone paying) is capped at 100mbyte/second and I found it varies from 75-100. Also nice is that as a member you can hear the full songs in preview, but at a very crummy 24kbit mp3 rate. But it's useful to see if the song is what you wanted.

Catalog

They've got a mixed bag, but lots of artists you can't get in the US yet. Also some stuff that you can't get here easily. That's what I found personally, a few obscure things they just didn't release here.
