"The good, the bad, the "gotcha""
Pros: fun and cool music research capabilities
Cons: the whole rental thing
Summary: Yahoo?s Y!Unlimited music browse/rent/buy service is a mix of good and bad. The free music engine has some interesting integration features that make the whole music experience interesting and kinda fun. However, certain other features, or lack the... read more >>

"You have to go through extreme agony before you can experience bliss!"
Pros: Keep clicking away as much as you like. Add songs/albums left and right for dirt cheap price.
Cons: not all the music is accessible to yahoo unlimited. It is more like 70%. Extremely buggy and might not work with win 2000!
