The best online music service!

 

Here the development and shift of music carriers from LP's to music cassettes to CD's to online music services (MP3 downloads or subscription service):


Which online music service is the best?

eMusic is my best choice for music download services. It provides cheap music and it doesn't copy-protect music files so you can listen to the purchased music on any device you have.

Yahoo Music is another music service I can recommend. Its subscription model provides very cheap music. Although they're DRM protected and you can listen to them on the limited number of portable devices. And you won't be able to listen to the music after your subscription ends.

However you can remove DRM protection (copy-protection), but DRM removal software are intended to make fairuse backups for the purchased tracks, so please do not abuse rental licenses (by removing DRM from music files you get by subscribing).

Finally some funding figures for the ongoing year 2011 (last updated Aug 2011). Note the high sums for streaming services Spotify and Boinc (Beyond Oblivion Inc.):


Good luck with recording streams from online music services! Stay safe and dont get caught!!

Re: The best and the cheapest music download service

 

Yahoo is selling its digital music subscription service Yahoo! Music Unlimited to Rhapsody America.

Yahoo Music will continue to offer music videos, Internet radio and music downloads. But customers of its monthly "Yahoo! Music Unlimited" service will be migrated to Rhapsody. No firm timetable has been set. Yahoo, which expects the deal to close by the middle of year, did not disclose terms.

As part of the deal, Yahoo will promote Rhapsody on music.yahoo.com.

Subscription at Rhapsody is twice more expensive than the one at "Yahoo! Music Unlimited". Enjoy cheaper "Yahoo! Music Unlimited" while it works!

Re: The best and the cheapest music download service

 

...well, I just signed up for the Yahoo! Music Unlimited service and it seems to have a limited amount of songs available.

I wanted to listen to all of Muse's newest tracks and they have none! They have 14 Muse songs and they're all old tracks.
I just checked out Rhapsody and they have 97 Muse tracks.

So while Yahoo is cheaper, it's not really any good if they don't have the songs you want to listen to.

I wouldn't mind paying the higher fees for Rhapsody, so this is actually good news. :)

Re: The best and the cheapest music download service

 

My favourite music downloading service is I like it because i can find what i want then pick where to get it from.

I used Yahoo for a while and I didn't really like it, i found it confusing and they barley had any songs i like. I've also used Limewire in the past and it's sooo not worth the hassle! Gave my pc, phone AND ipod viruses. Half the songs didnt play, it was silly. And the small matter of it being illegal!!

I find that Tuneget is good enough. This is software that find and download free music. However program is not free:(

Napster seems pretty good and also Rhapsody both are under $15 a month

Re: The best and the cheapest music download service

 

I just signed up for the Yahoo! Music Unlimited service and it seems to have a limited amount of songs available and i dont like it, b'coz they dont have the latest Muse's tracks! I just checked out the Rhapsody and they have 97 Muse's tracks!

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!
