I was thinking of signing up for it due to the sweet deal for the 1 year, but I'd like to hear some more opinions before diving in. I've glossed over some user reviews on Cnet & Epinions, and most say that it's a good deal, but a couple of folks do complain about slow downloads and flaky software. Admittedly, those complaints were a few weeks old, so I've no idea if Yahoo has delt with them yet or not.

Try it out for $7/month for a month or two before you spring for the year-long deal.

+ The Yahoo Music Engine is a bit bloated, but overall, it's a nice piece of software with some cool plugin options
+ My Radio gives you a custom radio station based on the ratings you give music
+ Discounts on paid downloads for subscribers
+ Either stream or download subscription music
+ Gives you all the functionality of Napster to Go for less than half the price
+ Lots and lots of music to choose from

- DRM bullshit.. for example, you can only put your music on a very limited number of MP3 players

Overall, it's the best online music service. I just wish I could get some real, honest-to-goodness MP3s.

If you buy into the whole subscription model, I think yahoo music unlimited is a no brainer decision. Yes, music is somewhat slow to play (compared to napster), but I honestly like the interface better than napster. And the price, the price can't be beat. $60 for a whole year, $5 a month. My guess is the great price won't last that long.
