denis_o_leary Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 A new site has been setup know as Buy Music. They charge US$0.79 and $1.29 per track. Albums start at $7.95 and go to $12. You can play the music you download on Media Player 9.0. Also Apple Computers have the popular iTunes Music Store to download music and they get 100,000 downloads per day! It seems to have got a successful response but I cant see why people would download music from them for money when its just as easy to download through Kazaa, iMesh or Morpheus for free :s.

Joseph Zollo Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 The music downloads on the iTunes store are very high quality (128 AAC I believe), but other than that, I would guess that some people just want to be legal. All the recent actions toward file sharing could also help boost legit music sales and stop some people from using kazaa/morpheus/etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSoul Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 one out of 100 songs are 79 cents the rest are 99 cents of 1.29 per track, the songs are in WMA quality and you need WMP to play it. Itunes is better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 I definitely love the iTunes Music Store. It's easy to use, and the quality of the files is amazing. Also, two big turn offs for BuyMusic.com: 1. Blocked to Macintosh users (no no!) 2. Uses WMP9 codecs (big compatibility issue with most popular portable media players) And then there are a few small turn offs too, like very few songs are $.79 cents (it's just a marketing ploy for advertisements). Also, it's harder to use, being web based. I can get a song off of the iTMS with two clicks. :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
