    Why it might be a killer

    Music fans can breathe a bit easier now. Free, legitimate downloads that supports artists and is amenable to record labels is a boon for music lovers and artists alike. P2P has been around for ages. Qtrax takes the trend to the next level.

    Some questions

    Is Qtrax for real? It launched days ago, but users still can’t access full functionality. Advertising appears during playback and the music doesn’t work with iPods right off the bat. Will users stick to the old (illegal) P2P method?
