Music help and Itunes help
« on: January 05, 2006, 06:10:40 AM »
I just signed up to buy songs off Itunes.  
First question, anyone know how I can change to an unlimited download subscription, instead of paying per song?

Second question
I'm mostly downloading music for my MP3 player.  Usually played when I'm cycling, working on the house, or mowing the yard.  For this, I like Disturbed, Static-X, Rage Against the Machine, Rob Zombie, Tool.  Any suggestions on some other stuff I might like in this genere?

Don't know that iTunes offers anything other than pay per song downloads.  I think if you want unlimited downloads you may have to seek another service.

As for the music...
Alice In Chains
A Perfect Circle
Nine Inch Nails
Avenged Sevenfold
Sponge
Seven Mary Three
Dark New Day
Sevendust
Filter
Seether

Yahoo Music has unlimited downloads and is the cheapest one I know of.  You have to subscribe to Yahoo Unlimited To Go for 12 a month to transfer the songs to a portable player though, and the player has to support subscription DRM (ipod doesn't.)  I bought a cheap Dell DJ Ditty (yes, I cringe every time I read the name too) for $99 shipped and am very happy with the service.  Some big names are very noticeably absent (Coldplay, Radiohead), but they have just about everything else, and you can try the service for free to test it out before you take the plunge.

JamisJockey try this link:

Type one of the bands you listed in the search box and click artist/band button. You will see a visual map of bands with a sound related to the ones you like. Then you can go to Amazon and listen to samples to see if you agree with their suggestions. So far I have found it pretty accurate.

Nevermore

Also, I personally think buying music off iTunes is the dumbest thing ever, but it's your money.

So you like metal, then?

Boy Hits Car
Incubus
Winter Reign
Skindred
Lacuna Coil

If you're using an iPod, for the sake of all that is holy, download a copy of Anapod Explorer and toss iTunes in the trash can where it belongs.
