I think it's great that IMVU is looking at other monetization ideas. Offering MP3 downloads for use in and outside of IMVU for virtual currency is a great idea. I love that you can trade USD for Credits for MP3. It's just great to be able to do that sort of thing, especially if you are a teen that has a certain amount of money, and can only buy a small amount of online goods each month. What if they buy $10 worth of credits, and have $0 left over, but decide they really want to download a new hot song. Instead of stealing it, they can take remaining credits they still have and grab the tune - and it's still legal. Helps avoid temptation. =) Anyway, that's all for now.</p> I know this is semi-old news, but I wanted to throw in some of my 2 cents about the idea here.
