And now I say:
That's right, folks.  It's now a Pay-to-Play scheme.  Of course, if you 
don't
pay $20/month to get the Premium Service, I dare you to try and upload 
anything
and get it installed in a timely manner...  Just my not-so-humble opinion, 
not
based in verified fact.  But hearsay cited on the Ambient list seems to be
pointing in that direction.  Here's a list of other sites I saw on the 
Ambient
list.  Hey Glenn!  Sounds like a REAL NEWS STORY you may wish to consider
covering in your e-zine.

www.besonic.com
www.audiogalaxy.com
