After listening to the latest Ubuntu UK podcast, I realised that Ubuntu One (the technology) does have a special relationship with the store. I thought beforehand that music would be downloaded to the customer's computer, uploaded to Ubuntu One's servers and then synced to other computers. Turns out purchased music is transferred to Ubuntu One servers, and then downloaded on every computer connected to that Ubuntu account.
That answers point 4 of the bug report (to my satisfaction at least).
I still think that 7digital is a more accurate name for the store, if not the technology behind the store. But I see where Ubuntu One ties in now.
Will I be able to use Ubuntu One like this with other stores (Jamendo, Magnatune, Amazon MP3, etc)?
