No. Ubuntu Software Center doesn't have a Play button, a scrub bar,
track listings, or many of the other things a music store would need.
Banshee has those things already, so you don't even need to learn a
different interface.

I hope that magazines are soon sold in a dedicated e-reader
application rather than in USC, for similar reasons. And it would be
super-nifty if someone implemented a font manager containing its own
store, because that could do a much better job of previewing fonts
than USC does.

Yes, that's the problem. It's bad enough that they're shown at all,
when they are nearly always irrelevant. Showing them to people who
can't install them is even worse.
