Ah, “free and legal P2P music download network.” Brilliant.

What bit rate are they distributing their music in? It doesn’t say.

Uh…I have to register and download a Qtrax player? Do Not Want.

And waiting for them to “upload tracks from their record label partners” sounds like they’re not going to have what I’m looking for anyway.

Ok, lemme check my favorite private-tracker bit torrent site. Oh yeah, all that stuff is here — in every format imaginable. FLAC through 192kbps. Wow, they even have Ratatat’s new album already. Does QTrax have that? Hey, two MGMT albums from when they were still in college and called “The Management! Vinyl-only rips from my favorite bands — and that’s all on the front page! Unbelievable!

At this point if anyone wants me to switch from using bit torrent, legal or not, they’re going to have to come over my house and blow me while I download Depeche Mode’s discography…and finish me off during “Personal Jesus”.

But what do I know? I wouldn’t be caught dead using iTunes either.
