update: After promising to launch a digital music service for several
years, MTV said Tuesday that it is close to releasing an online music
mart that will throw it into competition with iTunes and Napster.

Although offering few details, the company said it has worked closely
with Microsoft to build a service called Urge that will let listeners
experiment with new music, as well as offer "original, hand-crafted
content" from MTV and its other cable channels.

Until they offer me more than intangible digital bits at a ridiculous
price, and fair-use restricted to boot, I think I will resist the urge
to purchase "air". YMMV.
