QTrax: Free LEGAL Music ?
Qtrax is a service aiming to provide free music to it’s users on ad supported model. It is is said to have the 
support of the Big 4 Music labels as well as many Indie bands and will thus include an impressive 25ish million tracks on launch, which is expected to be Monday. Client will be Windows only with the Mac beta client coming March 18th, or so they say.
What’s impressive is that the service will also feature content from concerts and shows as early as the next day. The application itself features a music portal, music player and a web browser (Firefox). The video shows a decent interface but doesn’t mention if the songs downloaded will be playable in other media players or transferred to PMPs. Although with all companies having dropped DRM, one would be surprised if there were any sort of restrictions with the service. In any case, Monday couldn’t come sooner, atleast for the sake of giving it a trial run.
It may not be apparent but the music industry has changed tremendously over the past year. With DRM almost extinct, the labels have shown that they are indeed willing to accept the changes in the mindset of this generation, and the launch of Qtrax is a testimonial to that.

I’m not really sure I understand the point of a licensed p2p system -
One of the main reasons that p2p networks are so robust is because it’s hard to sue them out of existence. But if you’ve licensed all the music why bother with the p2p part, you hobble the service quality and the robustness in the face of legal challenges becomes moot.
Why not just go the route of imeem.com and store all the stuff on a central website then you can deliver instant access without worrying about whether the source for the file is online at the time.
Yes but what you missed out is the savings Qtrax may getting by an exponential decrease in bandwith costs with the user of P2P. Even if the user is getting his music at a lower speed than he would with a centralised server, he still wouldn’t be complaining as isn’t really paying anything. But once(if)the service gets picked up by users, speeds will start to increase.
