The WWW abounds in sites that offer music downloads. Some websites charge per digital music download, whereas other websites offer to pay a monthly fee for an unlimited number of downloads. It has been reported that CD sales are declining (19% in the last few years), and digital music download sales are speedily increasing. Experts say, revenues from online music sales raised almost threefold last year, with Apple's iTunes accounting for more than 85 percent of single song downloads. Yet, this does not mean that Apple is the sole source of online music downloads. At present, lawful music download websites account for about 6% of record companies' revenues, which is a growth compared to the situation a couple of years ago. There are two types of music download sites - 'rent' and 'buy' sites. 'Rent' websites are music sites involving a monthly fee that is paid to have access to the whole music databank. 'Buy' websites are a pay-per-download service, such as iTunes, where a song can be burned onto a CD provided that it is paid for. Then the CD can be ripped to the computer. Some digital music websites require a monthly fee for limitless listening rights, but also charge to buy a track. Some digital music download services are as cheap as 9 cents per average soundtrack. Also, these sites have soundtracks that can be downloaded in any format and quality. Sometimes music download sites are so cheap and easy to use that a great many people prefer to download songs from these websites instead of ripping CD collections onto the computer. For any person downloading music onto an iPod or iTunes, it is probably the optimal solution. For any music not intended for being downloaded onto an iPod, any other music source will work. When seeking the optimal quality music downloads, one should look for music download websites with the largest choice of music, a regularly updated selection, and excellent quality downloads. Commonly, the price is directly dependent upon quality. Therefore, a question arises: Is it worth spending extra cash? The answer is positive. |
