I'm curious, does the song have to be one you actually purchased or do the 800 songs you grabbed from Limewire work too???

I don't think it works that way from what the website says. If you have a song that's in their collection, they take the song from their collection. Therefore, any song in their collection is one play only for free, regardless of whether you have it or not. Not sure how they identify which songs are in their collection (filename, analysis of the file itself). Filename wouldn't be wise on their part since that can easily be worked around. I wouldn't put in the time to change all my titles just to use this service though.

In the end, if you want to use this service and you listen to relatively popular music, you'd have to pay 10 cents for each song to have unlimited plays.

I'll stick to Orb and Grooveshark.

Tested the sound quality on Skyfire 1.5 on my TP2 on Sprint 3G. As I expected, same type of experience I would get with Imeem, or any other flash based website streaming of audio on Skyfire... horrible. Not an option for my phone.
