MyMusic is an online music and video ordering site that will struggle to compete with "on-tap-music' business models. The site allows you to order their listed content much like you order books off of Amazon. The site does not support music downloads, sounds sampling or video previewing.
MyMusic does have special highlights focusing on interviews with artists and staff reviews on CD's and DVD's. They have a Wild Sanctuary section that we really liked. This section offers music and video of nature for use in your home or on your computer. The one drawback is that for an online music provider, there are no sample clips of music downloads available or video to try prior to purchase - shipping only! This is disappointing, as users do not want to purchase something they do not like - especially when it comes to "relaxation" entertainment products. They also have a section named Desert Island. This area holds all the albums 'they think' you should have if you are stuck on a desert island. We did not recognize any of the online music they offered here. This may be because we do not expect to be stranded on a desert island anytime soon!
What's New with MyMusic?- FREE shipping - When you spend a minimum of $29.98 (before taxes).
- Critic's Choice - See what albums and songs industry experts and critics alike are raving about (and what they're not liking so much.)
MyMusic Features:- Staff Reviews
- Brand Spanking New music
- DVD's and CD's
- Pre-order hard-to-find or new albums
- Gifts like action figures, greeting cards, games & toys.
MyMusic also carries CD and DVD accessories by Caselogic. The partner link had no partners listed at the time of the review- just a login option. The most interesting an option in the music downloads area are the interviews that really get you hooked into the artist and the reasons behind their songs! We also like the Wild Sanctuary - but even it is not for everyone.
Customer Service welcomes to answer any and every question you may have through about music downloads, topics and links. You can email to whats.up [@] mymusic.com! Or, call them from 9:00am to 5:00pm Eastern Standard Time, Monday to Friday.
MyMusic Membership Fees:
FREE - Users pay per online music 'Album' - not per song.
Member Support:
They offer online help FAQ's and online submissions for email and toll free call support.
Upside:
MyMusic is a good web site if you know what CD or DVD you want to buy and are price shopping. They do have a broad selection to buy at fair, but not a discounted, price.
Downside:
There is nothing to show that the site is leading-edge or even up to date with older marketing techniques such as allowing users to hear snippets from the online music or video clips. If you want to download music now from this site - forget it. They only support shipping which is a HUGE drawback. This is a huge negative for an entertainment related website. Additionally with the surge of "on-tap-music" for a monthly fee they will be hard pressed to compete!
Summary:
This isn't a real music download service, as MyMusic is mainly a place to purchase CD's and DVD's. But, that being said, they have a great selection! If you like eclectic albums and older titles, you'll feel right at home here. You can also have your purchases shipped for free when you spend at least $29.98, which is a good deal. We would have really liked to see some music or song samples, though.
