I read a review of this.

You have to use their program and you cannot put the songs on an iPod or Zune, the 2 most popular players. Forget burning a CD. So for most people, you have to pretty much sit in front of your computer and listen while you are bombarded with ad's.

The review said "why bother?" I hate to say it but I think I will agree. I will still check it out though.

Just saw this article. I guess the whole things has been delayed.

You're right though, the files are DRM, not MP3. Plus I've read the software you have to download is full of spyware. Fuck it.

From their site:

We're thrilled with the massive response we've received.
To ensure the best user experience, we're activating accounts
in stages. In the meantime, enjoy all the functionalities of the Qtrax
player like importing and playing your music and
searching for artist-related content.

Reading between the lines, I believe they are saying "We have no content at this time, but please let us subject you to massive amounts of advertising."

Use iTunes for free streaming music. Tons of channels available, some at high bit rates.
