Online Music Subscriptions

[Qua Sar]

Hey i just got a Mp3 Player and i wanted to know of some good music subscriptions. I was looking at eMusic but it's like 20 a month for only 90 downlaods were-as a place like yahoo music unlimited to go has as many downloasd as you want... but if you stop the subscription you can't keep the songs (or so i hear) anyways.

I have a iAudio X5L mp3 player. So what do you guys think what kind of music online subscriptions are there that are good?

eMusic. Once you download it's yours, they don't hold you by the balls. Quality is a very reasonable VBR if I remember right.

Yahoo and Napster are good if you want to listen to a lot of new music (multiple new CDs) for $10-15 a month even though you are renting. With either you can also buy single tracks, napster is 160kbps WMA which is pretty good.

If you want to build a library of full CDs, join the BMG music club and rip the CDs yourself.

you find paying $3 per CD to own them a problem? Then rent with Napster.

No i don't mind i think it's GREAT for people who get cds rarely. but... i'm trying to fill a 20gb space (and 10gb for movies) ... so really i'm trying to amass a TON of cds also i'm trying to get a variety and i'ts hard to do that when you have to select the cds/songs you want becuase your paying 20 to get songs and if you are trying to select cds/songs from eMusic paying for it makes me think "i better pick a good cd" so i won't be able to get a variety and "branch out" and try new music.

I will probably do eMusic but i'm just saying that's the one think i don't like for me at this moment considering i'm trying to fill such a large quanity of space.
