Download MP3 Music - SoundsBox.com vs. iTunes - Where to Buy Music?

NEW YORK, Oct. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Prices for individual hit songs and full album releases can vary. Is there any real difference if you pay $0.14 for a song at SoundsBox.com as opposed to paying an expensive $1 fee per song charged by iTunes?

SoundsBox.com is a mp3 download website providing music consumers an affordable solution to downloading mp3 music.

The site has become increasingly popular for its unusually low prices - selling individual songs for 14 cents while full-albums average around $1. The music delivered via the website does not contain DRM (Digital Rights Management) restrictions which allow quick playback on iPhones, iPods, Computers, Webservers, etc.

"Online download music sites like iTunes.com, TunesPro & Amazon.com have long replaced the conventional record chain stores," says Mark Richards, a 3rd year medical student at the University of Los Angeles (UCLA) who claims to be an avid SoundsBox user.

Mark purchases at least 3 full-album CDs weekly by legally purchasing the music via Soundsbox. "It simply doesn't make sense to pay $1 for music - specifically when I can purchase the same exact song for $0.14 via SoundsBox.com."

"As a student, I don't have a lot of money to spend on music - nor do I have funds to buy special DRM iPod players to playback the music," explains Richards while concluding "people who download mp3s don't want to be limited from burning their music to CD."

According to Soundsbox management, "the low prices are what originally brought clients - but the DRM-Free content delivered allowing consumers to playback their music on any tangible 3rd party format (iPod, iPhone, Laptops) is ultimately what keeps clients returning."

With friendly customer service and a willingness to please customers, Soundsbox is averaging 640k mp3 downloads per day. The music website allows users to listen to each song for 60 seconds before committing to purchase.

The site offers a huge catalogue of music from both mainstream artists as well as independent groups worldwide. There are currently over 6 million songs published on the site to choose from while new releases are being updated on a daily basis.

The site's goals are to offer quality mp3 music downloads at the cheapest prices possible while maintaining quality customer service and site availability.
