So while Yahoo is cheaper, it's not really good if they don't have the songs you want to listen. And I wouldn't mind paying the higher fee for Rhapsody, so this is actually good news!

Yahoo Music ! Unlimited stopped working a while ago. Yahoo actually redirects users to Rhapsody.

Re: Music download and subscription services

Harry Fox agency handles Download licensing..
..
Hint: Music Licensing is "per Song"
to explain: Minimum of 2,500 items licenses (that is 2,500 sellable copies on a song - one song).
There is a $13.00 to $18.00 per song administrative fee..
The cost per license is $0.091 per song (remember x2500 for the license fee)..
..
This all equates to over $3,000 per 10-song album...
..
But then you can sell them on the net (legally) for say $.69 each - If you sell all 2500 copies of each song (you make money)..
..
Hope this helps..

Re: The best and the cheapest music download service

let's add some more good music download service:

check out the brand-new music subscription service called "TPM" ( Thumbplay Music , thumbplay.com ). It has a FREE 3days trial without credit card registration, and a FREE 14days trial with credit card registration.

i can highly recommend the subscription service, it is cheap, the best funded, and the most modern and impressive development of concept/website/software of its kind. It is not Java, it is not Microsoft Visual Basic, or C++, the whole application (including the installer! :eek: ) is based on Adobe AIR technology, the successor of Adobe Flash and Adobe Shockwave. so dont be shocked when you first see it. i've warned you :D

the only problem is: it is not a download service (well, you can try to capture/record/download the streams!) but an on-demand-music subscription service. You do the downloads with your mobile device, not with your PC. :rolleyes:

i've posted reviews for 2 other great new music subscription sites. thumbplay is really nice and modern, simfy is, and deezer is really known and popular. the newer ones all use Adobe AIR and rtmpe streaming. maybe the 3 newbies plus the famous Spotify can be included in the poll *GGG* ;) ... i am not serious with Thumbplay and Simfy. They are too unknown and small. I wrote reviews for them only because they use Adobe AIR technology which is a novelty. Spotify has got lots of attention (Try google search terms < simfy > vs. < "thumbplay music" > vs. < spotify >) and people vividly discuss it, also on youtube. Nobody knows or uses Thumbplay Music. Although i can ;) recommend it.

Amazon hasnt started a true music subscription service yet but it does have launched what they call "Amazon Cloud Drive" and "Amazon Cloud Player". The following article with all its links and referrals is highly relevant and interesting. Please read and be informed!

Re: The best online music service!

My vote for emusic, using it for a while now and happy with it

Re: The best online music service!

Yet i have no idea which is best.

Re: The best online music service!

Yahoo! Music Unlimited had always been very limited. Limited interface, limited amount of music to listen and so on
