This is true. However, the theory behind Lala is that when you purchase, you’ll download the tracks to your home computer and add to your MP3-listening device. However, when you’re not at home and without your MP3 player (iPod or whatever), you can listen to your collection from any web-enabled item — a phone or a computer. The re-downloading portion, isn’t that also true of iTunes?

The story came to light only on Friday so time frames are not known at present.

Well currently LaLa only allows you to stream your music from their site, not redownload it.
