MusicMatch & Dell correction
It turns out that Dell's music download service is actually MusicMatch's service cobranded:
In that earlier announcement, the company did not give details on pricing or partners, however. Sources said the company's store would be a separately branded version of the Musicmatch service.
At least then Dell customers and MusicMatch customers will be able to interoperate. It's not much, but its better than yet another incompatible service.
Billboard has a little more info on MusicMatch's service.

I just spent many hours today playing with Musicmatch (after having tried countless other services: Rhapsody, PressPlay, MusicNOW, and :cough: Napster, KaZaA, et al), and I have written a pretty comprehensive review here:

I'd be grateful for any feedback!
