The Music Subscription Services
The best service based on pure stats is Virgin Digital, which has the largest music catalog of 2 million songs and the lowest price at $8 per month. Virgin charges one price for both the PC and to go versions.
All of the services require the download and use of a special player, except AOL, which uses a web based approach along with the Windows Media Player.
Yahoo leads in the nomination of the lowest cost with a basic plan of $5 per month.
If you want the best service, then Rhapsody is just what you need. It’s the most expensive at $15 per month, but worth the money if you want the best service available.
