Of the three providers, only iTunes required an account to be created for the user to be able to download mp3s. New-mp3s had the largest selection of music downloads, however some of the download links were dead, and iTunes had the smallest selection of free downloads. Insound was in the middle of the road, it had singles from certain ables that were free for download as well as the whole albums available for purchase.

Streaming Music Sources

1. Site : AOL Music

Song Title : Hand In My Pocket

Artist : Alanis Morisette

2. Site : Pandora

Song Title : Yes I Am

3. Site : Last.FM

The radio option used in AOL music was not as refined or customizable as the Pandora and Last.FM options; instead of starting with the artist of choice and moving to similar artists, AOL music only had radio stations for specific genres. Each of the three sites gave options to search for artists of Women's music with favorable results.
