Portable Media Players

First, Walmart was rumored to offer the iPhone in the near future. Then, it was announced that Walmart would be offering the Google Phone (G1). Now, Walmart will be offering MP3s for 74 cents. That's a cool quarter less then iTunes. Realistically, you will save $25 with 100 MP3s, and during these current economic times, that is nothing to sneeze at.
To sweeten the deal, the new Walmart music store works with Windows, Apple OS X, and Linux. Heck, it even works with Safari and Firefox. It would seem like Walmart is really trying to take a bite out of Apple. It also seems like Walmart might be trying to improve their electronics and high-tech image.
Now, the iTunes Music Store has 8 million tracks as compared to Walmart's 3 million, and you have to come to grips with shopping at Walmart, but saving money is saving money. What do you think? Is it worth a quarter to shop at Walmart to boost your music collection?

Eh, color me unimpressed; Walmart has worked to virtually kill a once-vibrant marketplace for smaller artist. It has become such a power-house, a 600 pound gorilla in the music business, that record labels are taking fewer risks on unknown artists and are instead vying for the limited shelf space in Walmart's tiny offering. That's why the selection in each store is so homogeneous
