"Mix & Burn Inc. has developed a laptop-size, touch-screen kiosk called a "Music Tablet" where consumers can download from a catalog of more than 200,000 songs spread among 200 music genres. The kiosks, which are sold to retailers, will appear in two area stores in coming weeks.
At $10 for the first seven songs and $1 per song after that, it's not as cheap as free, but it is legal. And the service addresses a fundamental problem with how the music industry sells its product: People don't like paying $15 for a 10-song album when they want only two of the tracks."

It's a good idea. But a bit too late. They should have been doing this 5 years ago.

200,000 songs ? That's not a lot.
For a 10 song CD $13 ?
It's going to be hard to compete with online stores...

They were doing something like this 15 years ago in Sam Goody stores. You could walk up, order a cassette tape, and have it made on the spot. I still have the one I had done.

Ah cool. But still a tape is different than a CD. It would be a exact copy. No loss.
