O.P. MSN Music vs iTunes
I thought it might be nice to have a discussion about the online music stores available. In particular MSN Music which was opened only a few weeks ago
What do you think is better MSN Music or iTunes ? They are both very good stores and some people like me and Apple fans have probably already made their minds up but the other people might want to discuss it.
Here are some facts:
MSN Music
encodes at 160kb WMA
has over 1 million tracks
has the "five big labels" plus 2000 independant labels
$.99 for tracks, $9.99 for albums
compatible with over 70 devices
Read a review at MSN Music Review
iTunes
encodes at 128kb AAC
has over 1 million tracks
has the "four big labels" plus 600 independant labels
$.99 for tracks, $9.99 for albums
compatible with very few devices

PS: DRM is the same for both services at unlimited burn to CD or portable devices and music can be played on 5 different PC's or macs
Also, the big five labels are BMG, EMI, Sony Music Entertainment, Universal, and Warner
