Too bad it uses WMA. That pretty much puts ipod users out since it wont play em. I know you can convert it into mp3 or aac but then you loose alot of quality.....
I agree that AAC woulda been a MUCH better choice. MP3 not so much, 'cus there's no DRM with mp3?(that's what AAC is for, I think.. also allegedly sounds slightly better).
I guess VZW didn't really think it thru when they teamed up wit' Microsoft.. if I did pay for a VCAST music track, I would want to play it ANYWHERE.. phone, PC, iPod, etc. WMA makes it a non-starter for me.

iTunes downloads are protected AAC files that will not play on any portable player except an ipod.
Even if you convert them to mp3?
Unfortunately, Sprint rapes us on song downloads, so it's pointless for me to buy more than a few. The memory card option is great because I can just fill them up with music, videos, etc., with a loss of quality...
I've downloaded a .mp3 to .aac comverter, but haven't gotten it working yet. ☹️
