Not. What’s really cool about having a product that’s a hit on the market is that you get lots of choices for add ons and service providers because everyone wants a piece of the pie. The same thing goes for the digital music on your iPod.
Michelle Johnson over at the Boston Globe did an assessment of the places where you can get your digital music. Here are some of her thoughts.
ITunes - An easy to use, full-featured software companion to the popular Apple iPod. The software allows you to organize a digital music library, rip and burn CDs, transfer to portable players, and create and share playlists. Extras include free Internet radio, party shuffle, audio books, music videos.
MP3tunes - This service has a small catalog, but is low-cost and is the least restrictive about what you can do with purchases because it does not use digital rights management. No special player required; works with any Web browser. Also works with any digital player that supports MP3, including iPod.
MSN Music - Microsoft’s Windows Media Player software conveniently connects to multiple music stores, and plays and organizes music and video. Attractive interface, easy to use. Use the Windows software to organize a music library, rip and burn CDs, transfer to portable players, access MSN, MusicMatch, Walmart, and Napster.
Yahoo Music Unlimited - Clean, attractive interface. This beta versions is a bit buggy, with occasional crashes. Currently cheapest music rental pricing. Installation made changes to home page, placed other applications on computer. Use Yahoo Music Engine to organize digital music library, rip and burn CDs, transfer to portable player, manage playlists, access music store.
