Today, Lime Wire announced a deal with The Orchard that will double the number of songs available through its online store. But if you're using LimeWire P2P software, are you going to buy music?

I applaud their efforts to become a legitimate music distributer.I wish someone would offer downloadable music in a drm -free losless format, artists and consumers need to put some pressure on the industry in this regards.

Any idea how the Limewire Store selection stacks up against EMusic? they seem to be targeting the same indie croud.

I think the store is probably going to go unnoticed and unused, mainly because its so easy to get the music for free. If you can't find it free on LimeWire, then you can probably get it on SoulSeek (by Sun Systems I think) or other programs.

As a user of LimeWire, I know that its much easier to "steal" the music.
