A Closer Look
Digital
Music for the Masses. Your Guide to Buying MP3 Music Online.
By Walter L.
Mora Digital Music Editor
The Scenario
The way we buy, listen to and carry music has been revolutionized by the boom
of technology in the past decade. What once was a trip to the local music store
to buy a record, tape or CD is now done from the convenience of our own homes
with just a few mouse clicks. Gone are the days when you had to search around
town for a hard-to-find album or paying $20 for an album that has just one song
you like. Now all you need is a credit card, a computer, Internet connection
(the greater the speed, the better), software and/or membership (but not in
all cases) and a portable digital music player (if you want your music "to
go"). It's fairly simple with a countless number of web sites selling individual
songs, partial or complete albums and even audio books to suit every taste out
there. Now, there are many of you that like to search and download for songs
without spending a penny but as the saying goes "you get what you pay for"
- which in case of downloading so-called "free" music, is of poor
quality, fake/corrupted copies, attached to a virus and more importantly, you
may be subject to criminal prosecution. Buying MP3s guarantees high quality,
legal digital versions of music you can utilize at home, office or on the road
for the same price of an item on a value meal at your local fast food restaurant.
The Players
iPod, iRiver, Mojo, Rio - these are just some of the numerous MP3 players currently
out on the market for sale. Some more popular than others, in various colors,
storage space, sizes and price. Regardless of which player you decide to go
with, you'll need one if you want to take your digital music with you - whether
downloaded from an online vendor or from your very own music collection. Say
good-bye to fragile CDs and cases or bulky CD storage magazines and welcome
a compact digital player into your life that can store your entire music collection
(up to 10,000 songs!). To take your collection with you, simply copy your tracks
to your computer using any one of ripping software out there and transfer over
to your player or visit any one of the online MP3 vendor sites below to search,
purchase and download your music.
Most digital music
players work seamlessly with online MP3 vendor sites/software making it fairly
simple to download, store and enjoy your tunes in a matter of minutes. If such
an option if not supported, as long as the player accepts the type of format
the music has been recorded in, there should be no hassle in getting it on your
player. This is where online sites differ from one another as some tend to digitize
music files in particular formats to uphold copyright protection and limit illegal
sharing and distribution. I strongly suggest you visit the sites below and read
their system requirements to better understand what you need in your computer
and what players are supported before purchasing one. You'll be surprised at
the options
The Sites
Below are what I believe the Top 7 sites where you can purchase MP3 music files.
They all vary in site layout, interface, cost, quality, file format, copyright
protection (but all are legal once purchased) and device/system compatibility.
Click through the sites and I'm confident you will find one to suit your taste
and your digital music player. It's time to rock!
iTunes
Music Store
Apple Computer leads the way again! Over a million songs from all five major
labels, pre-release, rare, out-of-print and exclusive tracks are available
for US99 cents each (US$10 average for complete albums, mp3 audio books
also available). iTunes allows 30 second song previews along with radio
station streaming and numerous playlist options. You can burn as many CD's
as you want and use them on multiple computers, and can download files to
the iPod (but not most other portables). In order to use the service you
must download the iTunes player, available free for both Mac and Windows
users.
EMusic.com
One of the first sites to sell music online, it offers regular MP3 files
which are not restricted or copy-protected. Buy an entire CD, or just the
tracks you want! Short samples of each track are provided. Great selection;
many popular artists can be found here. Free 14-day trial with 50 free downloads
(with membership subscription - can cancel any time during trial), and you
don't need any special software. Prices start at US$9.99/month for 40 downloads.
Weblisten.com
Founded in December of 1997 in Spain, this site features over 250,000
MP3 and WMA titles from top artists. Songs may be purchased individually
(two for US$1.60 or 1.5 euros, 10 for US$7.73, 25 for US$18.52) or you
may subscribe for one, six, or 12 months (29-349 euros). In Spanish, English,
German, French, Italian and Greek.
Napster
2.0
The new Napster isn't a file-sharing service but an online music store owned
by Roxio. Napster has content agreements with the five major record labels,
as well as hundreds of independents, and offers over a million tracks. 30-second
clips of each track are offered and can be purchased for US$.99 per song
or US$9.95/album. Requires download of the Napster software (Light version
also available).. A US$9.95/month subscription is optional and includes
special price breaks on multiple downloads. A good iTunes alternative
MusicMatch
Downloads
MusicMatch has long been known for its music jukebox software for creating
and organizing MP3s. Beginning with version 8.1, MusicMatch Jukebox incorporates
an extensive library of music you can purchase for US99 cents each or US$9.99
for most albums (it is currently available only to US residents). Unfortunately,
you can't browse the selection without first installing the software. Offers
similar features to iTunes and Napster.
RealPlayer
Music Store
The makers of the RealPlayer offer over 500,000 songs recorded in high-quality,
192 kbps AAC format. Download free RealPlayer (to access the store, or subscribe
to the RealRhapsody radio-type service). Selected songs are only US49 cents!
Others cost about the same as other services.
Rhapsody
Listen.com's subscription service costs US$9.95 per month (or US$24.95/quarter)
and features music from EMI and BMG. The music must be played with the Rhapsody
player, and it only works while connected to the Internet. Songs may be
burned to CD for US99 cents each. Radio Plus Internet Radio service also
available for US$4.95/month or Us$9.90/quarter - listen to over 50 pre-programmed
radio stations, customize stations, skip songs and all commercial-free.

At first i didnt think that having no random play and no song location memory after shutting down would be a big deal, but when you have 200 songs to scroll through it sux feeling like i listen to the same 10 songs which are the first ones on the player.
The battery doesnt charge well through the usb, if you put it in a real charger you will get a good 6-8 hrs out of it.
PISSED: I also did not receive the rebate for the sd card, Onrebate.com are a bunch of mindless morons, I sent the only upc code that was on the packageing, and they sent me response saying ''wrong upc'' (its the only upc on the packageing! how can there be a ''wrong one''?) try explaining that to the idiots at the help desk, all they do is copy the same response and send it back to me. I wonder if there is even a human writeing the emails, or if its just some auto response program.So in the end it cost me 20$ more than i was expectiong to pay, which in the end doesnt make the product a good buy with all its f

Not bad for $50. The headphones could be better, so I use a pair from an old Rio player. Sounds much better. No resume feature, so make note of which song was playing when you turn off. Only counts up to 99 songs even tho I stuffed about 130 on each memory card (@ 64kbps). I have the extra 256mb SD card, which helps. Works with iTunes. Don't expect much from the manual. Seems like it was written by an 8 year old as was the email response I got when I asked about a firmware upgrade...which won't happen. Battery life is not bad. I get about 6 hours. Good starter player, but next time I'll get a better one.

Used this player for a week.I like the small size and ease of use.
Dislike the ear buds that don't stay in the ear very well which is the basis for any portable player.The rechargeable included was lucky to provide 50-60 min of constant playing which is terrible(purchased name brand rechargeable's for longer play time).The fm receiver can barely pull in common stations for my area(Chicago).
Overall if the earbuds were better i would consider this a decent product to buy and more info from manufacture about play time and battery type up front.Maybe manufacture will offer up a better pair of earbuds?

Ok, whoever writes a negative review about this should seriously rethink. I just got mine today and I love it. I had recently bought a napster and it was twice as expensive and it was not good at all. The ultra is cool, the back-lid LCD and the rubberized body is a charm. Also, I was able to access the memory from both doze and linux. However I haven't been able to access the sd drive from linux. But 256Mb is quite good. For this price this is a great deal
thanks

I love mine. I only use the MP3 player, FM Radio and the ability to store data for use one computer to another. For this it works perfect. My only complaint is the battery dies in no time at all but on the up side it came with a rechargable battery. So it is a wash
