Last FM

What a beauteous thing Last.fm is. Essentially Last.fm takes your preferred taste in music and artists, and then creates your very own radio stations based on those preferences. The music streams near-seamlessly, continuously and without interruption. This puts it a step ahead of sites such as Spotify, which interrupt your listening with adverts until you pay a fee. But Last.fm is free! You heard...

Pandora

Pandora's box, of the Greek myth, contained all the world’s evils. Pandora.com, on the other hand, opens up a world of music pleasure. Far from chaotic, the great thing about Pandora.com is its ability to learn. Yes, it learns what kind of music you like (with a little help from you clicking “like” or “dislike”) by identifying which styles of music, and its constituting...

Spotify US

The best things in life are free, so the saying goes, and Spotify could be up there with “love” and “compassion”. Spotify does something that almost no other music download sites can claim: it lets you listen to full tracks of music completely free of charge. This is its key ‘selling’ point, and it’s quite an exciting one: new and old music at your...

iTunes

iTunes is everywhere. It’s hard to avoid seeing someone on their iPad, nodding their head maniacally to their favourite track or music video. There isn’t an absolute number of tracks apparent on iTunes but let’s just say this: it’s a lot. These come at a very reasonable price and iTunes even offer free songs, blog posts and other such trinkets. The system is easy...

eMusic

eMusic has passion. Its site reflects the personal intimacy of its staff, colourful but professional, serious but playful, ultimately obsessed with music. The eMusic editorial team provide recommendations and passionate reviews and interviews. eMusic is a community, not just a database. It avoids broadcasting the usual pop songs, instead focusing on the music scenes outside of the popular centre. New Age, Spiritual, Folk, Blues,...

Zune Marketplace

Microsoft is – if you didn’t already know! – a massive and established corporation with a lot of experience in providing online services all around the world. Their child, Zune, is therefore a polished and well executed site which offers a couple of interesting xbox-compatibility features, perhaps best taken advantage of by avid games and music fans. One of the finest and most unique...

MP3 Mixx

Look in the middle of the road and you’ll find mp3mixx. Its number of tracks is fine, but not great. It’s relatively easy to use, but in no way breaking grounds with features or innovating music extras. What is good about mp3mixx is the price of its tracks and the occasional high quality of the download. At $0.15 a song this is one of...

Inferior quality recordings
User Review of 7 Digital by James on 31 March 2021

Purchased multiple albums with .flac files. Most songs have distortion when listening to them. Do not buy anything from 7digital, waste of money.

No Customer Service

Terrible service
User Review of eMusic by Malcolm Weale on 10 August 2017

I was with eMusic for years and never had issues. But over the last few years they have seriously gone down hill. The service is absolutely useless I put my subscription on hold for 3 months and never once did... (Read the full review)

Distorted sound quality
User Review of 7 Digital by Kd on 05 November 2016

The last song I purchased from 7digital was extremely distorted. I reported to 7digital that they are selling distorted files. 7digital denied there was a problem and didn't offer to remedy the situation. They used to be my first choice,... (Read the full review)
