I'm rather amused at how excited people are about paying $100 to do what they like with music they own.

Unless they don't own the music, then I'm even more amused that they'd pay $100 for this device but not a couple bucks for the songs they want.

Well, it doesn't have to be $100 nor is it just a couple of songs.

For example, lots of students bring their iPods to school (grade school thru high school). So, all you need to do is get a bunch of students to pitch-in to buy one of these miShare devices (let's say you get 20 to pitch in, so that's only $5 per person), and voilà! The students in the school have easy access to each other's iPod library. I assume it wouldn't work for DRM'ed tracks, but CD-rips are DRM-free and DRM-free songs are available from iTMS too (which unfortunately gives ammo to those in the industry that favor DRM :( ).

spending $100 at one time or spending $1 per song everytime you download it? dont you think the former would be more cost effective in the long run?
