The Earthlink service offers subscribers access to 75,000 tracks of major-label music from BMG, EMI Recorded Music, Warner Music Group and Universal Music Group. Users may ownload up to 50 tracks each month for a $9.95 monthly fee or up to 100 tracks each month for a $17.95 monthly fee; the songs may be listened to when not connected to the Internet, but may not be transferred to portable players or burned onto CD. Also, songs become unavailable once a member's subscription lapses. The service features a branded EarthLink Digital Music Player that uses Microsoft's media player and digital rights management technologies. On May 18, it was reported that Full Audio has added the fourth of five major music labels -- Bertelsmann -- to those who have licensed it music for downloading. You can get up to 100 songs for $14.99 a month -- but you can't burn them to CD or write them to an MP3 player, writes CNET's Gwendolyn Mariano. Full Audio is partnered with Clear Channel Communications Inc. -- which owns 1,200 U.S. radio stations, in offering the service. The Full Audio service is available via Clear Channel's KESZ-FM, Tempe, Ariz. website.
