iTunes vs. Yahoo! Music (cd, mp3 player, albums, beatles, songs)

Zero Signal · 11-18-2007, 07:53 PM

Alright, I am finally dragging myself (reluctantly) into the online music download scene. I just signed up for an iTunes account and I am now looking at Yahoo! Music. I am a little torn as to which is better....paying a monthly subscribtion for unlimited dowloads (Yahoo) or per song/album (iTunes). Since I don't know exactly how much/little downloading I plan to do just yet which would you suggest/prefer?

If you really want to choose between those two...go with Yahoo Music Jukebox I have it. I pay 8 bucks monthly and I can download any amount of albums to my mp3 player but if I want to have the song to burn to a cd that's when you pay 79 cents per song.

I'm only experienced with iTunes and it does what it's supposed to do, but I have heard good things about eMusic.

And definitely check out Mp3Sparks.com.

don't get sucked into itunes.

jackhammer · 11-19-2007, 04:43 PM

None of them. For the same price you can have the hard copy in your hands.

I don't understand shareminer....how can it be free and still be legal???? (seriously, I have no clue and want to know)

So far I like what I am seeing on MP3Sparks.com

jackhammer: I am not looking to replace buying hard copies. There is a bunch of songs out there I would like, but don't want to buy a whole album for one song. It only makes sense to pay anywheres from .22 cents to $1 for the song I want than many time more than that for a whole record. (Soon I will be starting in on collecting hard copies of every Beatles studio album!)

because doing things that are legal are for old people and children. Even your mom was d-loading Burzum last thursday.
