Free 30 - day trial with a $9.95/ month subscription to stream over 1 million songs. Like Itunes, you can purchase songs to own for .99 and albums for $9.99. Music now is not compatible with Linux or MAc and only works with Windows XP. The songs downloads are fast and can be transferred to any non Ipod MP3 device. You get access to thousands of radio stations which are chosen based on your favorite artists and heavier downloads. The greatest thing about this site is that it has an extensive trial period which can be a huge incentive for someone who wants to browse around the site and get a feel for it. Also, the searching tools allow for a more optimized search for artist, genre, and categories.Core disincentives include the site's Microsoft biases, to own music you have to pay what you would at Itunes, and purchased songs can only be converted to an MP3 player.
Core incentives are, there is an extended trial period, faster downloads than most subscription sites, and you can listen to up to a million songs on your computer without having to purchase them. AOL Music Now has some of the right ideas in allotting more freedoms to their consumers in terms of searching and sampling music, but does not quite beat out other subscription sites which provide access to massive databases without having to purchase songs for .99.
