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?
