Subscription music services

[GrantMeThePower]

I've been using Yahoo and i like it a lot as a subscription music service, but I've been hearing lots of good things about URGE and i thought for a bit about switching, but does anyone know if you can keep the songs you downloaded from one and just switch the licensing to the other, or do you actually have to redownload everything? That would blow to have to download 20gigs just to switch providers.

Um LIMEWIRE is FREE go to CNET.

 

[dartworth]

how much do you pay for yahoo?

 

[mundane]

If you didn't actual purchase the tracks (just a subscription), I imagine you'd lose the license for your music files once your subscription was over, and I doubt they'd support transferring them for another provider.

No thank you for limewire and "sharing" music.

I pay 5 bucks a month (paid by the year, though) for Yahoo.

He wants a legal music service. Limewire isn't even close to legal. Also, using it and the files you download through it can cause some nasty infections if you aren't careful.

I'd heartily recommend allofmp3.com. Sure, you're supporting the Russian Mafia, but even still, they're providing a valuable service that's worth the money. And you get to stick it to the RIAA in the process, which can only be a good thing.

This is what I meant. Sorry for not being clear earlier.

I heard that allofmp3 was questionable in terms of its legality at best.
