So, I guess I need a timeline. . . I wonder if 500,000 have signed up yet.

Well... it's long time ago. I signed it up on the first day, but PayPal didn't give me the 5 free songs.
I can't help myself, but where's the [insert timeline thing].

They encourage you to create a new account, so I was going to give it a try. That is, until PayPal nagged me for yet another credit card (which they seem to be inclined to doing when signing up with new sites) and I did not feel like fetching my wallet. I do not understand why they won't let you decline to add another card and simply proceed with the sign-up process. Then I came back and saw Kenneth's reply that he did not get the five songs, so i said screw it. . .
