Comprar música on line (além da iTunes)

«(...) how much we pay and what we get for our money can vary, depending on which of the 50 legal sites we choose.  (...) other providers offer downloading services for the same price or less. Single downloads from hmvdigital.com, for example, can be 20p cheaper than iTunes; albums are £4 less.

Napster.co.uk, which offers subscription services as well as pay-per-track, is iTunes’ best-known rival. Tracks cost 79p on Napster Light, a pay-per-listen service, and albums from £7.95. The songs are yours to keep and you can transfer them to more than 75 compatible MP3 players. Alternatively, Napster Membership costs £9.99 a month and gives you access to Napster’s catalogue of four million tracks to play on your PC. If you want to transfer the tracks on to another device, such as an MP3 player, you will need Napster-To-Go, which costs £14.95 a month. (...)

Peter Ruppert, founder of Entertainment Media Research, says eMusic.com is probably the cheapest site at £8.99 for 30 downloads – or about 30p for each track. “The disadvantage is that it is a subscription service and they have a limited repertoire,” he says. “They won’t let you browse before agreeing to a trial subscription, so there is a bit of an anticlimax. “Don’t expect too many major hits, but an indie fan could probably be happy here. The advantage is that they deliver tracks in MP3 format without DRM.”Meanwhile, Tescodownloads.com charges 79p a track, Wippit.com anything from 29p to 75p a song, Easy-music.com between 25p and 95p, and Woolworths.co.uk 59p to 79p. Album prices vary from site to site and by artist – current chart toppers are more expensive. »
