Bug Description
Binary package hint: rhythmbox-
I have three machines running Lucid. I grabbed a free album on one of them just to test out the music store and it downloaded to that machine just fine, but none of the tracks showed up on any other computers.
I then grabbed a free track on a second machine and noticed that track and all of the previous ones showed up.
On the third I went poking around the filesystem to see if they were downloaded but not showing up in RB for some reason when I noticed that ~.local/
I'm not sure if this is by design, but the expected behavior for me is that the music would sync to all my associated computers without having to buy tracks from each of them.

Aha. The problem here is, I think, not that you hadn't bought music on the other machines; it's that the other machines weren't connected to Ubuntu One, and buying music connects you to Ubuntu One. If you have a fourth machine to test with (!), then if you connect that machine (Me Menu > Ubuntu One > Devices > Connect, or "u1sdtool -c" from a terminal) then that machine should also get the music without having to buy a new one.
