Review of pressplay and RealOne

Here's a particularly in-depth review that compares the nitty-gritty of the services. For example, with RealOne, you can only ever have 200 tracks activated on your system. Even if you've been subscribed for eight months and downloaded 1600 tracks, you can still only listen to 200 of them in one month."

  1. I tried pressplay for a week by joemc79 · · Score: 4, Informative

    I was not impressed with their selection. They had spotty atrist coverage and some artists had only half of their tracks available. My biggest two beefs:
    1) You lost all your downloaded music when you cancel (you can keep burnt music obviously.)

    2) All your music is stuck inside of pressplay. No mp3 player support.
