iTunes
What else can we add about iTunes? If you have an iPod, you're in the club and iTunes is the best music download service for you. In fact, we won't waste much ink on the interface (like everything Apple designs, it's clean and easy to use), music selection (most comprehensive of the lot) and format (iTunes downloads only work on iPods).
Want to know the alternatives?
If you have an iPod and are looking to explore more music without paying per download, iTunes' 30 second song previews are not the solution. But, Rhapsody currently provides an all-you-can-listen monthly subscription which also allows you to buy individual songs. These downloads are compatible with the iPod.
If you don't have an iPod, you have many more choices. Like Rhapsody, Napster provides a monthly subscription service which allows you to listen to music on your PC or portable device. Or several download sites allow you to pay per song, including Buy.com and Wal-Mart.
