| There are a great many online sites that offer online music. Some services charge per online music download, while other websites require a monthly fee for a limitless number of downloads. It has been researched that CD sales are in decline (19% in the last couple of years), and online music download sales are quickly increasing. Revenues from online music sales are reported to have nearly tripled last year, with Apple's iTunes accounting for over 85% of single soundtrack downloads. Nevertheless, this does not mean that Apple is the only source of online music. At present, lawful music download sites account for about 6% of record studios' revenues, which is an increase compared to the situation two years ago. Music download sites come in two kinds: 'rent' and 'buy' websites. 'Rent' sites are music websites involving a monthly fee paid to have access to the whole music catalog. 'Buy' services charge per song, such as iTunes, where a song can be burned onto a CD providing it is paid for. Then the CD can be ripped to the pc. Some online music sites require a monthly fee for unlimited listening rights, but also charge to buy a soundtrack. Some online music download websites are as cheap as 9 cents per average track. Besides, these sites have songs that can be downloaded in any format and quality. Sometimes music download sites are so cheap and user-friendly that many people choose to download soundtracks from these services instead of ripping CD collections onto the personal computer. For any person downloading music onto an iPod or iTunes, it is probably the best option. For any music not being downloaded onto an iPod, any other music source will suit. When searching for the optimal quality music downloads, one should look for music download sites containing the largest selection of music, a regularly updated selection, and superb quality downloads. Normally, the price directly depends on quality. Hence, a question arises: Is it worth spending a few extra cents? The answer is positive. |
