I use iTunes over both eMusic and Napster, mostly due to ease-of-download. While Napster offers a 'monthly' thing, their selection is nowhere near as large as the iTunes library (especially in the retard indie rock and nerd rap that I listen to). I did use eMusic briefly, as part of a special offer with my pre-iPod mp3 player - I didn't like it at all, the selection was pitiful and the front end program was taint-tastic.

Now, if you're not buying an iPod you probably will not be as likely to use iTunes, for obvious reasons (although it's very much possible, if you look around hard enough) - I would guess that Napster is better than eMusic in this scenario, but neither are ideal. The monthly Napster deal is probably MUCH cheaper than iTunes - but the .99c/song is only for single tracks, and full albums are generally cheaper.

I've only had 2 iTunes searches come back negative (Love is All, and the new Isolee album - they had the old Isolee one, to note), FWIW - their selection is extraordinarily complete.

Thank you, this is exactly the sort of information that I was interested in!
