The Bottom Line: Winamp is still a fun player for customizing your playback experience, but most users will prefer the all-in-one experience of Windows Media Player or iTunes.

The Bottom Line: A robust library of high-quality music files and seamless integration on the OS and media jukebox level give MSN Music some distinct advantages over established stores and services.

The Bottom Line: Windows Media Player 10.0 is a great choice for Windows XP users who want a single jukebox that does it all.

The Bottom Line: If you subscribe to a streaming audio service and want the music in your permanent collection, Replay Music is a sound investment.

The Bottom Line: We liked RealOne MusicPass when it debuted, but it pales with a bit of competition. No way to burn songs to CD? No way to transfer to portable players? No way. Get eMusic instead.

The Bottom Line: Music Now more than meets your need for radio-friendly fluff, but unless you're always bound to the computer, you'll miss eMusic's CD-burning capabilities.

The Bottom Line: If you're a huge fan of Christian music, you might get your money's worth from BurnItNow, despite its small catalog of tunes. Everyone else, look to RealOne MusicPass or eMusic for a wider selection.
