TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Choosing an Online Music Vendor
When choosing where to buy your music online, you may want to pay
attention to the following criteria when rating online music
vendors.
* Price: How much will you pay for a track or for an
entire album? Is there free music on hand? Do you have
to pay a membership fee?
* Format: Many people prefer MP3, but other formats can
offer better sound. For example, Apple's iTunes Music
Store offers downloads in Apple's higher quality AAC
format - however, those files have a certain
amount of copy protection built in. Also, there is
Windows Media Audio (or WMA), which delivers quality
equal to (and often better than) MP3. While the WMA
format is supported by a number of MP3 players, it's
also saddled with an extreme level of digital
"copy protection."
* Library size: Although "Afternoon Delight"
may not be on your hit list, everyone wants a large
selection of music to choose from, and many vendors
offer a surprisingly limited library.
* Search features: How simple and straightforward is it
to search for the music you want to hear?
* Convenience: How easy is it to navigate a vendor's
site? Can you hear a decent preview before you buy? Are
your login ID and password saved for future visits?
For just about everything you need to know about, well,
everything (in the digital media area, that is), check out
