Ligamusic.com is a subscription based music download service that offers more than two million DRM free titles in almost every genre we looked for, including Audiobooks. This service also offers the option of a music-search toolbar for your Internet browser for increased convenience and includes a free mp3 every day, just for using it.

All songs are in MP3 format, which means they are compatible with all MP3 players including iPod and Zune. 0.15$ per Track. However, Ligamusic.com’s library is largely independent and it’s likely you won’t find the same songs and artists you hear on the radio.

Unlike most subscription services, the songs you download are yours and you can burn them to CD or place them on as many MP3 players you like. Even if you cancel your subscription there is no expiration date on your music.

This is a great download option for those that like music outside the mainstream

In all fairness, Amazon’s top list should be included as well:

I call foul. I don’t see CCR Chronicles on that list and that always seems to be a top eMusic seller. (And there’s nothing wrong with that.)

I loved New Magnetic Wonder. I know you have to give Itunes some points somewhere, but NMW is a seriously great album.

Captw - If you like Gretchen and are interested in Miranda, you might find yourself pleasantly surprised by Taylor Swift. The record’s a bit saccharine, but it’s got its charms.
