Is AOL MusicNow any good...

Nov 30, 2005 12:40AM PST

or is it just as buggy as all the rest? In 2004 I used musicnow to download some songs, I did not notice any problems, but at the time they only carried about 250,000 songs. As I did not have a DSL line at the time I did not take part in the subscription program for my computer. I want to use a to go service for my Creative Zen extra which has the firmware for subscription music. I download the yahoo music player thinking I would use that service. I am a long time user of Yahoo and MusicMatch, but the service for just the free player and radio service was so buggy ie log outs, system timeouts and failures, I decided it was not worth it. I don't like the Real Networks so their music service I will not use. That leaves me with AOL MusicNow or Napster. I have read the reviews for Napster, but I fear it is just as buggy as YM.
