Not sure about streaming, though. The downloads are 160kbps and, IMHO, sound pretty good. Bummer about all these music subscription services being U.S. only... except, I think, Virgin Digital and Napster, both of which offer services in the U.K. And both, IMHO, are quite fine services and worth checking out!

So us Brits won't be able to use the service at the moment, whatever the codec they use. They would probably use RealAudio 10 .ra file format.
