PressPlay, a lot like other online music subscription services, isn't too
bad at all, but I think that even PP's monthly price is too much.  USD$15
only provides "downloads" but not suitable for transferring to
CD.  To get "versions" suitable for CD, an additional $4/month is
required that only provides 5 burnable songs.  If there were an online
service that estimated only 50 cents ($CDN) or LESS per tune, then I would
start getting interested.

I never heard of iTunes.  But a Google search seems to indicate that it's a
music subscription service for MAC owners?

My favourite is PeopleSound.  It is among the first online services that I
discovered over a year ago that offers truly free and legit downloads. 
Some of their CD-buy options are excellently priced too.  The service may
not provide maintstream artists, but it can be a fun way to discover new
artists and tunes.  They have partnerships with many independent Labels.
