I am writing a little short review of my own on YAHOO MUSIC UNLIMITED.
I was looking for some type of music service where I could download as much as I want for a low price. Yahoo seemed to be the only one with this kind of option I was looking for. I gave it a go and quickly started playing music. When you first start out, you have a 7 day trial and then the billing kicks in. After I purchased my subscription, it told me I need the yahoo music engine to get my music. It actually took quite a while to download and install. Once I got it installed, the interface seemed kind of slow at first, but after awhile it become more intuitive. I quickly found a lot of music I really liked. The music engine is very simple to operate and learn. I now have about 255 albums and its still downloading more. While you can download the music files to your computer, you can also network it, so like the other users on your network can use your music files. I haven't tried my Xbox 360 with it yet, but Iam sure it will work. I was suprised that they didn't have "everything". They only have one album of ledzeplin. This goes for some artist, where they might not have there new albums, but this can be very rare. The music engine was also taking around 80mbs of ram when in use, I do not reccomend the yahoo music engine while playing games. Overall I think its a great idea, since p2p or torrents wasn't really my "thing" anymore. I know people are just gonna say, there such thing as torrents or p2p, but I consider this the best "legal" way to download music.
