Comment It actually is pretty good (Score 2, Interesting) 307
I would just like to comment on the whole Peer Impact thing, since I have actually used the service for quite some time now. First off, I have found it to be a very good program that is basically the best way for you to buy music online. The song selection is already quite good, and they are adding more content daily. The layout of the program as well as the technical support is also very good:
In terms of actually buying songs, they are the typical .99 cents each or you can buy a whole album for usually 9.99.
You can use your credit card or debit card to make purchases one at a time, or you can load as much as you want into your account to draw from as you need it. (i.e. I put 20 bucks in there to last me a few weeks or whatever)
Since all of the songs originally come from their server (even though they are eventually distributed by individuals) the quality is always good (128 wma) and you never have to worry about a crappy download or spyware or the wrong song or something. I know that this is one of the main reasons I was fed up with the free P2Ps.
Finally, I would just like to say for all those people who are complaining about having to pay for music. Obviously the RIAA isn't going to give music away, this is simply another, cheaper and easier way to purchase your music. They know that people are still going to get music for free because, lets be serious, no matter how good a service is nothing can compete with free. But, people will pay for quality, and ease of use, and that is what this and other pay services offer. If i can use this and save 50 cents on each of my songs instead of paying .99 at itunes with nothing in return then I will do that. If you want to check it out for yourselves go to www.peerimpact.com and test the beta. They are even giving people 5 bucks to try it out.
