Digital Music Stores Reviewed

Kozz writes "If you've thought about trying the new Napster 2.0, or perhaps MusicMatch, or even WAL*MART music service, you really need to read this review at BBspot.com. Brian takes a break from his standard satire fare and writes a comprehensive review not only of the previously mentioned stores, but also of BuyMusic.com, eMusic, Apple iTunes, and RealOne Rhapsody. It breaks down the features of each service, the prices, restrictions, general pros and cons, and really gives you an idea of which one(s) you should try depending on your needs."

  2. Properitor: NuClear Records, Lindon, Utah by rkz · · Score: -1, Troll

    As a record store owner, you can't blame me for not welcoming the new competition from all these new online music services. Altough it does impact on my business slighly, it doesn't eat away at my sales as much as some might think. The reason for this is that most of my sales are to young teenagers (12-15) and they usually do not have a credit card, they are the ones who buy Britney and Justin Timberlake albums, which make up most of my sales in a week. Another cash cow for my store is the local bands sections. I have come to an agreement with local bands who want to distribute their cd's which I think is very fair, from each sale they get 25%. This is far more than what a record company would give them, and also far more profitable than a chart CD. They get their friends to buy these CD's in droves and its great for me. I for one am glad p2p has brought the issue of wether we need record stores anymore. I believe we do and it has really been a wake up call for me to get my ass into gear.

  10. Here is a REVIEW: $0.99 is a rape with an ash tray by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Consider an album that has 14 tracks and costs $14. That would make each track cost $1? Wrong, there is the cost of the disc, the cover art, the distribution network, storage, celophane wraps, etc.
    Cost of a track? More like $0.08. So iTunes and the likes are just raping the a$$ out of you in the name of RIAA.
