Online Music Stores Compared

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the addictions-i-have-managed-to-avoid dept.

prostoalex writes "DesignTechnica has a comparison of the leading online music stores. With the variety of services available they only concentrated on several top ones. Conclusion? 'If you simply want to download music from the charts, then Yahoo and Wal-Mart are your cheapest options. For your MP3 player, there are several options, with Yahoo the best of all. If you're an iPod owner... then you're stuck with iTunes.'"

    I guess this is typical corporate behavior. Apple has always to enforced their business model through tight reigns on both the hardware and software. Perhaps if Yahoo makes a dent in their music store business they will see that people prefer freedom.

    However, I do like the fact that Jobs has been refusing to bend to the music industry's pressure.

  2. Are you kidding, just steal your own music. WTF? by mosb1000 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Why don't you just steal your own music. At least that way you aren't paying some Russian mafia asshole to steal it for you. What in gods name do you think you are paying for? If you have no intention of respecting American copyright law, at least don't pay some fucking Russian asshole for nothing.

    What the hell is wrong with you? I can't believe this, the stupidity is appalling. I just keep getting more and more angry at the blatant stupidity of this and all other comments like it. I wish I could reach through my computer screen and slap you. Whatever you do, don't pay some russian assholes to steel some one else's IP. At least have the respect and common sense to steal it yourself. Why are you so stupid? Aaaaaah!

    I'm going to go get some ice cream and try to calm down. Please, Please, Please don't give those assholes any more money.
