I posted last week asking if anyone knew of a similar service to
mp3.com.

Today I see:

http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS2434403923.html

"TheKompany.com today formally launched Mindawn, a music download
service that, unlike iTunes and Napster, targets Linux desktops. Mindawn
is claimed to provide CD-quality song files and "virtually no" digital
rights management (DRM) restrictions, offer full previews of the entire
songs, and provide downloads in "lossless" Ogg Vorbis and FLAC formats,
as well as in other common "lossy" formats."

It should be noted that this article goes right on to contradict itself
by pointing out their player is available for Windows & Mac. (not to
mention any player should work with Ogg Vorbis).

Further down the article it also mentions that artists can upload their
own music and collect royalties.
