An adult guide the development of legal music

we all know that a world of music is available for the theft of any number of sites. But if you want to download music legally – and if you are paying for it you can also get free of DRM copy protection restrictions – what are your options?

Before embarking on this project, I asked my children if they have ever heard of any of these services. Apart from iTunes, I have blank stares. Of course, none of them pay for their digital music, and do not care. Here are five sites that I've spent time with:

eMusic.com several different offers monthly subscription plans of what they claim are from two millions of songs without DRM. The cheapest is for downloads of 30 songs for $ 12 per month, even the most expensive $ 20 for 75 songs per month. No matter the plan, you get 50 free downloads and you can unsubscribe at any time. If you want to be a mercenary about the whole deal, you can join, have your 50 songs, and cancel the same day, without spending a dime. You have to register before you can browse your store, however.

Real Networks claims Rhapsody.com over four million songs, and you can only listen to the whole length of up to 25 tracks a month free of charge, provided you sign and give them the right to send unlimited e-mail solicitations. (This is an unpleasant Bix in that regard.) If you want to download, you pay 99 cents for most songs or $ 10 for most albums. You can only download a song once, and if you use your Windows software, will automatically add the songs to iTunes (but not Windows Media, they are still a little cranky after the lawsuits). Mac or Linux users can download a zip file with several songs included, and then you have to manually import them into your music library.

Amazon.com has "millions" of songs, but unlike Rhapsody only you can hear a sample of 30 seconds and not the whole song. They optional software download for Windows, Linux and Mac automatically added to iTunes (or Windows Media) and makes purchasing simple multiple tracks. If you do not use the downloader, you have to download one song at a time. Each song is 89 or 99 cents, albums ranging from $ 6 to $ 10. The ones I had bought quite high rates of 256 kbps encoding. You can only download once as Rhapsody.

iTunes Music Store (which claims a catalog of five million songs) is beginning to experiment with DRM free music from some of their publishers. The songs are encoded 256 kbps and cost the same as the copy-protected songs. If you have purchased a previous version can upgrade DRM'ed by a further 30 cents, the song or one third of the purchase price of the original album. To do this (not that I want to give Apple more mass), to go to the iTunes Store in the latest version of the software, click the link for "iTunes Plus", and then click the update button. It will show which of the tracks can be updated and what it will cost. Unlike other services, you are buying an AAC file rather than MP3, but most portable and PC based players will be fine with this format.

Finally, SpiralFrog.com, an interesting site by a friend of mine who does not charge for their downloads, but only gives the music contained DRM. They claim 800,000 songs and have a great selection of music videos. You must be running a recent version of Windows, Windows Media Player and Dot Net Framework. Unlike eMusic, you do not need to register and install the download manager to navigate the site, so you can get an idea of what they have to offer. But once install your software, you can download everything you want. And one other limitation: you can copy your tracks to more than two portable players, and you can not play them, of course, iPods. Also you can not play them on Zunes, which shows the confusion with Microsoft's DRM is.

So there you have it. There are some options except the theft of their music. If you want to do a lot of downloads, I would go with eMusic, especially if you go beyond 15 or more songs a month, but is a subscription service and now you can feel like me you pay enough between monthly premium charges for cable, DSL, premium and unleaded premium gasoline.

If you are the dumper occasionally, like me, after the Amazon makes more sense, especially as I have my music on my Mac and have a good customer for that operating system. You can turn the click of order and is effortless. I do not like the corporate culture of Rhapsody, and if you use the iTunes player in the import into your library is cumbersome. And while iTunes Plus music store is trying to get more DRM free songs, most of his music is still copy protected, so it's best to avoid until that changes. Finally, SpiralFrog has an interesting spin on downloading music, but as I am Mac-based iPod and it's not for me. Visit Here Now http://dotnet-asansol.blogspot.com
