Is BuyMusic.com the Yugo to Apple's Rolls?


The (presumably biased) Dr. Mac from the Houston Chronicle seems to think so.

In this article, he smashes the advertising, ease-of-use, and licensing of the new site.

That's where the similarities end. Simply put, while iTunes Music Store is the Rolls-Royce of online music, BuyMusic.com is a Yugo. "
