Which Are The Most Reliable Music Downloads Digital Services?

This page will discuss the most reliable music downloads digital services.

This page will be mostly devoted to the purely legal networks. These have been tested and reviewed, and all of them are at least rated good.

There is a page dedicated towards reliable music downloads from peer to peer downloading software; the in's and out's of those will be discussed there.

There are some similarities that exist among all of them. Besides their being truly 100% legal, they have:

- excellent organization of playlists
- good bios for each artist
- very good download speeds
- reliable music downloads
- the song you download will actually be that song! And a super quality of it. This is in contrast with peer-to-peer networks such as the old Napster (note - the new Napster does not have this problem and ranks very well).
- Unlike many peer-to-peer networks, if you download a song just partially you do not have to re-download it from scratch. You can actually log out and turn off your computer, start it up again, and them pick up where you left off with that download without being charged twice. Actually, these networks will protect you from downloading more than one copy of each song from each network - there just simply won't be a link to download the song after you've already downloaded it
- excellent customer service

Here we'll provide a summary of reliable music downloads regarding why each one is desirable for you to use. You can find a more detailed review by following each individual link.

Rhapsody:

Has plenty features, and are very reliable. As far as features, performance and overall quality of the service, the Rhapsody digital music service is up to par with other leading services.

In fact, their radio streaming options are so good that is seems like you're accessing them from a file stored in your computer - since they start so fast.

Achieving LEGAL downloads for free is probably easiest achieved through this site.

Be sure to check out Rhapsody To Go options.


Napster:

This digital music service is many times better in terms of reliable music downloads that its controversial giant predecessor. Although not as elegant as iTunes, it still has a ton of more features than the old Napster, and is ranked #1 in terms of content. This service would actually be the most reliable (and #1 most recommended to use) if you are a true music buff rather than just some Joe Schmoe who wants to download a song or too (although it's very reliable in that capacity as well).

Its "Napster To Go" service is quite great as well regarding reliable music downloads. It's a bit more confusing to use than the non-portable original, so just read any applicable instructions carefully. Once you got everything figured out it downloads great, albeit slower than the non-portable version (very slow at some times). Once you do download them, the quality is excellent. Overall, if you are on the go, and want to listen or download unlimited music for one monthly fee ($14.95), then the Napster To Go is one the best legal tools that you can use. Their invention was so amazing that other services such as Rhapsody have jumped on board. As noted Rhapsody has their own Rhapsody To Go.


iTunes:

Itunes has excellent quality, organization and downloading efficacy - still unmatched from its competitors.
iTunes makes it clear what they provide and they live to their promise. What they say they provide is actually what they do provide. For example, when they say songs are $0.99 each to download, all songs are $0.99 each to download. iTunes is compatible with the Mac OS x unlike most other networks that are not compatible with Mac computers. Their customer service is very great, but you probably will not need it since their help guide is very detailed and very easily explained.

I believe that the above reasons are why iTunes still remains the #1 used and most reliable music downloads digital music service on the planet today. Even ahead of the mighty Napster, and the up-and-coming Wal-mart music downloads.

Has an excellent search system in its library - you would have to use it to find out what I mean. Even if you decide to purchase subscription plans from other services (and you probably will), it would be a great idea to download the free iTunes player anyway. The reason is simply because of its unchallenged elegancy compared with other players.


Wal-Mart:

Extremely reliable of course. You would have to expect reliable music downloads from the world's #1 retailer. Although their music selection is limited to the most popular stuff, the quality of each download is excellent. Their customer service I believe is the best out of all the services with 24-hr service and very quick replies to e-mails. Just make sure you have the latest free Windows Media Player installed on your computer.
