   If MTV meant good music then yes iTunes would have something to worry about. Just watch 5 minutes of MTV (actual music, not garbage reality TV of some sort) & you'll see the risk is minimal.

   I'm not sure how relevant the quality of MTV music is at this point, however I would expect a considerable marketing push to certain demographics via MTV, plus Microsoft displaying Urge everywhere in Media Player, there is some room for taking over a share of the market.With this I am not saying I like or dislike this however, I am not even a WMP user, I prefer WinAMP.

   Am I alone in thinking that Urge was the name of a soft drink?[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urge_(soft_drink)[/u

   Except it's not iTunes they're having to compete with. It's iTunes + iPodWhat's more is iTunes + iPod is compatible with both Macs and PCs, while URGE is not. Also URGE won't allow you to put songs onto your portable if you use the monthly prescription method of payment.[Edited by Shevek on 2006-05-16 02:58:20]
