Yahoo! Music Unlimited is among the least expensive subscription services at $5.99 per month if you sign up for a year.
To transfer an unlimited number of songs to your portable MP3 player you need the Yahoo! Music Unlimited To Go service.
As a subscriber you can stream an unlimited number of songs from their entire catalog. You can also save songs on your computer so you don’t have to be online to listen to music. If you want to burn music to a CD you have to pay per track. As a subscriber the price is $0.79, which is a 20% discount off the standard $0.99 price.
Positives
- $4.99 is the lowest price per month for a legal music subscription service.
- If you are already a subscriber then $0.79 is also a good deal compared to Wal-Mart’s $0.88 or iTunes‘ $0.99.
Negatives
- As with all subscription services, music will only play as long as you are a subscriber. (Does not apply to individual tracks that you have purchased and burned to a CD.)
- Only works with Windows XP.
- Portable MP3 players are limited to those that support WMA.
