Selection doesn't come close to the iTunes music store yet, but the music is encoded at a much higher rate (256 kbps), a lot of albums are less than $10, and, best of all, all tracks are DRM-free! (Only EMI offers 256 kbps DRM-free tracks on iTunes - and they cost more).
Interestingly, Day For Night is the only full Hip album up there right now.
I've had some good luck plugging in some holes in my music collection so far, but when I downloaded "The Blue Hysteria" by the Rheostatics, all of the files had static in them. No response from customer service as of yet.
Also, while it says it is for US customers only, it is pretty easy for us Canadians to work around - simply enter a US "shipping address" on your account, and you are good to go.
