MSN launches radio playlist streaming service

MSN in the US are launching an interesting service where they take different radio station's playlists and stream the tracks on them via their MSN Music Service - the underlying message being "like the music they play, hate the banter and ads, then listen here!". They even list each playlist by the station name it comes from. As far as we can see the stations themselves aren't involved - but MSN is encouraging them to become partners on the service rather than trying to sue them. Could be interesting.
