AIM Tunes

I work in a corporate office, so during the day IT and its fun firewall prevent file sharing and downloading. We are just lucky enough to have AIM on our computers. So, I almost got excited when I heard the news that AIM is beta testing a feature through it's service for AIM Tunes. The application deeply searches to find music folders of friends and presents the content clearly. The user can then pick and choose selections from that friend's playlist to be sampled or assembled into another playlist, which can be saved and accessed through another media jukebox, such as winamp or iTunes. Advertisers are on board, and I do think it's cool that Amazon.com does identify the track being played and offers a downloadable MP3 purchase link.
