This service is the newcomer to the downloading services but with the major corporate backing, it's going to be here to stay. With Wal-Mart's aggressive price strategies ("every day low prices"), the songs downloaded from here are going to cost you 88 cents each (full "albums" are $9.44). After downloading the software from Wal-Mart.com (all virus free software), the service will open the Windows Media Player and you can search for your music within it. Again to search for an artist or song, simply find the search box in the top right corner and type in what you wish and it'll display any song/singer's with what's imputed (if they're available).

This service is strictly a buying service (like iTunes) and doesn't offer jukebox capabilities unless you purchase something. Like Napster, it offers some exclusive songs, particularly stuff from Curb Records.
