A Review of Unlimited Music-Download Services

If you happen to be looking for an unlimited music-download service online, you won't have any trouble finding one nowadays - that is unless you just stepped out of a cave and don't know how to Google.

Finding an unlimited music-download service by doing a search of the term "unlimited music download" will definitely return an avalanche of results in a few short seconds and how. Unlimited music download sites are just about as numerous as the stars in the sky...with more popping up every day.

The question that needs to asked about these download sites is this: Is one unlimited music download site as good as any other? I would have to say that they are not created equal across the board for at least two reasons.

1. Cost: Nowadays most sites offer a one time membership fee of anywhere between $20 to $50. Some of these unlimited music download services are offered free but there can be some drawbacks with some bothersome advertising and also with adware and spyware programs that can attach itself to your computer and cause you fits in the future.

2. User Interface: Some sites are a little easier to navigate than others just by nature of their design and some just due to personal preference. Another thing you need to pay attention to is the type of format they offer their media in. Windows Media (WMA) and Mp3 are probably most common but you need to make sure that these files can be run on your computer.

Some of these unlimited music download sites may charge a per song fee while others may charge a monthly or an annual fee while still others may have a combination of the above fees. Make sure you read through their terms of service so you don't get any unexpected surprises that could rain on your parade...if you know what I mean?

Before we go any further I feel like I need to offer up another little warning once again about some of the "totally free" unlimited music download services. It has been an all to common problem in the past that some of the files from these kinds of sites have been corrupted to the extent that personal Mp3 players cannot read them and therefore can't play them. There is also the very real threat of viruses and I don't think I need to go into any detail on this matter except to say...virus...bad, very bad.

Now, with that said, some of the more respectable unlimited music download services may offer a free trial period to give you the opportunity to take them for a test drive and of course that is just good business practice.

Below is just a short list of some of the more well known and accepted unlimited music download services available online today...they are as follows:

1. Rhapsody

2. Napster

3. KlitePro

4. eMusic

5. iTunes

While this list is by no means complete it will give you a good place to start doing your own research to see which unlimited music download service will suit your budget and your tastes...happy hunting!
