Buying Music Online


Recommended Posts

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.

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...

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

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:
