"GREAT! I love my WalMart Music Downloads!"
Pros: No software to install, songs play great, lax DRM rules, Great Selection of music.
Cons: Selection 9/10, could help it to have some more of the current hits. Usually has hits from a year or more plus current hits from select labels.
Summary: I love my Wal-Mart Music Downloads! I love the initial account creation. I didn't have to install ANY new software on XP. Usually with music download companies, you need to install an ActiveX control (MSN Music) or Client (Napster, Rhapsody, Yahoo). With WalMart, it works flawlessly with WMP 9 and WMP 10. Also, the DRM restrictions are more lax than some competitors. The only con is sometimes they do not have the current hits from select labels. I think, however, this is the label's fault, because they have their own competing music service, such as Sony Connect. The selection, however yields a result for 8 out of 10 songs I want on average. Great service that will not bloat your PC.

I thought by paying 88 cents that I was getting a good deal and buying my online music legally. However the "protected" music made it difficult for me to transfer to my MP3 player (even though I read it was easy for a Creative Labs MuVo). What a pain! If you have a friend with the CD, burn it, it's just so much easier that way. These proctection restrictions are not helping deter illegitimate online music sharing.
