Yahoo Music MP3 Download StoreIf you have an iPod or other MP3 player, chances are you have a pile of MP3 songs sitting on your computer. But when it comes to new music or downloading older tunes, you need some online digital source for inexpensive music. In mid-2005, Yahoo threw its hat into the MP3 music download ring with Yahoo Music (music.yahoo.com). Similar to iTunes, Napster, and Rhapsody, Yahoo Music is a subscription based service, but at an amazingly low price of just $6.99/mo ($4.99/mo for prepaid year - that's the price of about 5 CDs!). What do you get for the money? Let's start with songs. Their library has over 1 million songs for download, in the WMA format at 192kbs (like the other services, no MP3). You'll need to make sure your portable MP3 player can handle these digital rights management protected files (Yahoo provides a list of compatible players). Yahoo provides its Music Engine software for organizing, playing, and download music files to your PC.
So which is the best online music download site? In terms of price, Yahoo comes in at almost 50% less that the other competitors, and its per track costs are in line with the others. Yahoo offers a free 7 day trial, so can try the whole thing out for free - how the music software works, how the download process works, and what happens to your tracks when you cancel the service. When you sign up, you must choose the billing option you want assuming you continue (monthly or annually) - to keep from being charged, you MUST cancel within the 7 day time period.
