You could be right since I did not puruse the entire site though I did
see RCA Victor, EMI, etc. Also I just searched Rubinstein (Artur) and
all his albums came up.There are several nice things about this approach
not the lest of which is CM on demand without finding and  fiddling with
with those akward CD cases. There is a good search engine for searching
by title, artist, composer or album name, its  easy to build a playlist(s)
which you can save and replay the selections later, the music is streamed
so no space is needed on your hard drive, though broadband is highly
recommended. When you play selections they are added to your editable
playlist, then click "burn" and the playlist is burned to a CD. Very
friendly interface.

They are hoping that their revenue from an honest listner base will allow
them to buy more licenses over time and they have a newsletter to announce
things. Since I like classic rock also, I find all the music from the
50's, 60's, 70's and 80's is there to be burned (and I don't feel guilty
since I'm paying for it). There is usually the original version and all
the remakes.

Since its free till 2/21 (without burning ability) its easy to try it
for a week.
