Genre seems like a funny way to qualify that. If I want Metallica I'm not going to be happy that it only has Creed just because it fits in the same rough genre. I certainly like searching through genres, but if I'm looking to buy music I'm buying it based upon an artist and album I like, not because it's also harpsichord.

Rightholders make it difficult for some of these catalogs to offer EVERYTHING as a consistent DRM-free product at a reasonable price, so they play games with only offering some of their catalog here, and other parts there. (And some parts, not even at all) It'd be awfully nice if the all the major labels offered a site where you can exchange a a reasonable amount of money for any track in their catalog, but it seems market forces make that a non-starter.
