Finding your favorite songs depends solely upon the selection of your music store of choice. Digital music is here to stay. It closed the distance in 2011, and poised to overtake the sales of physical music in 2012. The various music stores on the internet make it easier than ever to find what you're looking for. 5. Zune Marketplace The Zune Marketplace is the online music store of Microsoft Zune, originally named for the music device launched with it. It has a large music selection with the entire current billboard top 100 available on its over 5 million song selection. This selection is comparable with the larger online music stores. All songs also enjoy enhanced compatibility over multiple platforms. This includes the Zune music player, your computer, Microsoft's Xbox and the Windows Phone. The drawbacks that have kept the Zune Marketplace from attaining a higher position on this list are the large number of DRM files, the required usage of Windows Media Player and the format of the music files. The prominent number of WMA files pushes Zune compatibility and kind of excludes owners of other music players. 4. Rhapsody Rhapsody is a veteran online music store. They too have a large selection of music files available. Their music collection stands at more than 5 million songs. These are all available under their subscription. However, they are not all available for ownership. The files can be used on all music players. Rhapsody has since launched an mp3 store, allowing the outright purchase of songs. The drawbacks that prevent the rise of Rhapsody on this list is due to the facts that they don't provide support for other types of digital media and that their campaign is not as aggressive as other online music stores. 3. Amazon Amazon pushes its resources as the global leader of electronic commerce as an online music store. They have a collection of more than 6 million songs, free from DRM regulation. This means that all content purchased from them are outright, and may be used indiscriminately. The drawback to Amazon being higher on this list is their age. They are relatively newer to the online music scene, but their tremendous experience with ecommerce may soon bring a rise in their position.
2. Napster Napster was considered the first large-scale online music repository. Unfortunately, their usage of peer-to-peer sharing also categorized their repository as illegal. Now Napster has legitimized its service, transforming itself to a major online music store. It holds more than 7 million songs in its repository, all of which are DRM-free. Napster is climbing the charts quickly. Just a little more support for its software may cause it to gain a larger market share. 1. iTunes iTunes holds the top spot for the Best Music Store Selection. They have the largest selection of music, at over 8 million DRM-free songs available. They are entrenched solidly in first place, lording over 80% of the market. They have the largest selection of digital media. Their categories span music, videos, ebooks and applications for use with their iOS devices. This wraps up the list of the top 5 best music store selections. Their competition ultimately benefits us, the end users of their services and selection.
