DRM VS DRM-FREE
What is DRM or Digital Rights Management? Songs that are downloaded with DRM
have some kind of restriction on them. They can not be transferred to Audio CD
and they usually can't be transferred to very many personal players. Many DRM
restricted music files cannot be played on Zune or Ipod players.
However, some DRM audio files are free or cheaper to download.
List of WMA DRM Compatible Devices.
iTunes Music Store music purchased for .99 usually has copy-protected AAC DRM
on it and only allows the music
to work on your iPod.
DRM-Free music can be purchased and downloaded without any digital rights
management restrictions. This means you can transfer the song to an Audio CD
or any MP3 player.

SpiralFrog -
http://www.spiralfrog.com
DRM
You can listen to 30 second track clips at SpiralFrog and
then download the songs for FREE! When you try to download it, it wants to
install a download manager. According to the FAQ at
http://www.spiralfrog.com/pages/support.aspx the songs are DRM protected
so you can't put them on iPod or Zune players or burn them to CD.
It requires XP or Vista and does not work for MAC users. Quality is 128 kbps
or 192 kbps and in WMA format. However, the site is FREE to register
and downloaded songs that you can play on your PC or
compatible DRM devices
(including some phones from Motorola and Samsung, etc.)
as long as you login to spiralfrog at least every 60 days.

QTrax -
http://music.qtrax.com/
DRM
You can download copy-protected songs at Qtrax for FREE!
However, you have to download the application which is only for XP or Vista.
According to the FAQ at http://www.qtrax.com/US/support_misc.html
they say "eventually" they will have millions of songs.
So now they have barely nothing. You can't burn the songs to CD.
At the moment you have to be connected to the Internet to play the songs,
even though you download them to your computer.
They also state "you will be able to transfer music onto
Windows Media-capable portable devices in the near future."

Dada.net - http://www.dada.net
DRM-FREE
Download 15 full mp3 tracks at $9.99 a month.
The songs can be put on any phone or MP3 player.
Only 30 second samples on website. Be careful, a
lot of people are tricked into putting their cell
phone number into dada.net and this subscribes them
for $9.99 a month. A lot of people don't realize
they are getting charged.

Ruckus - http://www.ruckus.com
DRM
The music cannot be burned. This site is free for college students.
The music can be downloaded and put on to only certain MP3 players
that support DRM. No good if you are not a college student.
You have to have an email address ending in .edu.

EZ-Tracks - http://www.ez-tracks.com
DRM-FREE
Full of advertising that tries to put subscriptions on your
cell phone at the click of a button. Very dangerous.
I had to click on "Not interested" about 10 times when I logged in.
Just to listen to a 30 second sample I had to say "No Thanks"
at the bottom of a giant ad. Then the song wasn't even from
the original artist. This site is a scam.

Emusic - http://www.emusic.com
DRM-FREE
Emusic is $10 a month to download 30 Mp3 tracks a month. Do not sign up!
They mostly have indie music. If you find tracks from your
favorite artist it may be performed by somebody else.
There were no tracks for artists like Rihanna, Sting, Phil Collins or Coldplay.

Mp3 Fiesta -
http://www.mp3fiesta.com
DRM-FREE
You can listen to 30 second previews.
Then you can download full 192 kbps mp3 songs
for .20 cents or albums for $2.00. However,
here is the problem: The site and others that
offer songs this cheap are in Russia. They have
different copyright laws in Russia. But from what
different people on the web are saying it looks
like when you download a song from these websites
the original artists do not receive any royalty fees.
So do not use these sites.

Sites for just listening to music or watching music videos

last.fm -
http://www.last.fm
Great place to search for popular music artists songs
and listen to them. It also gives options to
purchase the music from iTunes, Amazon and eBay.
It also includes music videos.

Yahoo Music Launchcast -
http://music.yahoo.com/
Personally, I don't like yahoo music that much anymore.
I used to be able to search for a song and play it.
Now I have to start a radio station based on that artists music.
The audio quality is also not very pleasing. It sounds tinny.
Having said all that, yahoo music is a good place to watch music videos.
For better streaming music and videos you have to get Yahoo Launchcast Plus
for $2.99 a month or free if you have AT&T DSL.

Yahoo Music Launchcast Plus -
http://music.yahoo.com/launchcast/
Yahoo Launchcast Plus is $2.99 a month, or it is free
if you subscribe to AT&T DSL. Again, it has the same
problems of not being able to just play the particular
song you want, but you can listen to a radio station
and watch good quality videos.

Pandora -
http://www.pandora.com/
I feel the same way about Pandora as I do about yahoo music.
It is nice to search for an artist and listen to a radio station
based on them, but if I search for a certain song at Pandora I
can only play a 30 second clip.

imeem -
http://www.imeem.com/
I don't know if I recommend this site. It is confusing to use.
When I try to play a song the website code has an error and it
sometimes says that I need to "Download flash" even though I
already have it. It worked better with Firefox 3. Here you
can find music from the original artists, but usually it is
not the radio version or album version of these songs, but
alternate versions. Kind of cool. The songs are uploaded
by users, which would seem like it is illegal, but recently
the major record labels said it was legal.
See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imeem#Copyright.
Finding out how to do a playlist is difficult.

Deezer -
http://www.deezer.com/
Pros: At deezer you can search for an artist and play
most of their songs. When you start the player it
actually plays in the background without an extra
window and you can keep searching for other things
while the music plays. The sound quality is good.
It has buttons to download the song from iTunes or Amazon.
Cons: It displays all the songs from the artist, but
sometimes it says the song is not available to play.
Update: Some of the songs that it said it could not
play it would play if I added them to a playlist.
To create a playlist I had to sign up.
It has a lot of music videos, but the quality is low on the videos.
