I'm considering whether to subscribe to an online music service such as Rhapsody, MusicMatch, eMusic, etc, in order to download music tracks to my PocketPC.
1. I like not having to buy music if I am at my computer, just listening to a channel, same as old-fashioned radio; but I don't want to hear the same tracks every 3 days. (I find that happens when I listen to the "free" versions like SPinner/Netscape radio.
2. I would like to be able to Copy downloaded tracks to my Pocket PC. How are users of these services doing that? Can you play their MP3 downloads on your PocketPC Windows Media Player? If not, can you easily and accurately convert their downloaded tracks from MP3 to WAV files to play on the Wndows Media Player on your PocketPC? OR do you need to install another player due to digital rights protection?
3. ANy thoughts on which services have the most content? I have pretty electic tastes - jazz, blues, country, rock.
Thanks for your advice!
