Best subsription music service? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Twizted · 03-09-2006, 10:33 AM

I'm checkin out Rhapsody and Napster, both offer free unlimited music while connected to the web. I like iTunes easy interface, but don't want to have to buy all the songs, I want to just pick and play throughout the day at work.

Does anyone have a preference for either Napster or Rhapsody? Or is there an option I'm missing?

Thanks,

Jason

I used rhapsody and it was ok.

However beleive it or not Yahoo's subscription service is pretty good and imo better.

I pay $4.95 a month.

I can download the player onto as many computers as I want (Rhapsody you can only do 3)

It automaticly incorporates any music station you have already made through Yahoo.

And well I really like it. over 1.15 million songs and you can make great playlists and such.

for $10 a month you can actually download as much music as you can hoild onto your mp3 player (none of the subscription services currently can be used with Ipod)

ANyhow for $5 a month I think it is worth it.

Also you can influence other peoples stations and them yours if you like each others music tastes.

My music station name is codycat2000

Thanks for the feedback - I was looking at the Yahoo service after posting. $5 a month is so cheap - a cup of coffee around here.

I'll check em out!

With the yahoo, can you just have them sitting on your computer and move them to your mp3 player whenever you want? (even if you bought it before you subscribed)?

Can you do whatever you want with the mp3's...probably not, so in what way are they limited? Im kinda new to this stuff...

Esen, are you saying that the yahoo one IS compatible with iPod? The one I use has encrypted wma's, and therefore won't load onto my iPod, much to my dismay.

Having had great satisfaction with Rhapsody for over 2 years, I never tried another except a brief trial of AOL Music Service (or whatever it was called). I don't have an Ipod (or similar device), so I don't really care if I can download from it (I've read that it is possible at Rhapsody). Other services may be better, but until I'm unhappy where I am, I'm staying there.
