MP3 Music Selection:  

MSN Music Store has tons of music with over a million titles to download, each separated into 22 separate genres. And although you won't find audiobooks or children's music on this site, we felt that MSN is one of the most organized and easily-utilized music download sites around.

Search Capabilities:  

MSN Music Store offers all the search capabilities we look for in good music download services, including searches by Artist, Album and Song Name. If you can't remember the name of a song, you can search MSN's music by genre, where you'll also find a list of the most popular downloads within a category.

Feature Set:  

Beyond the normal features like an integrated music player, a playlist organizer and information on artists and albums, MSN Music Store offers some additional features. Besides giving you five free songs with the purchase of your first download, one feature MSN offers is a video download store, where you can download news, sports and entertainment videos for mobile devices.

Download/Setup:  

MSN Music Store's download process can be summarized in one word, "convenience." Unlike many music download service that make you move from page to page while you listen, buy and download a song, MSN lets you do all three from the same page.now that's easy.

MSN Music Store offers strong support in the form of one of the most complete FAQs sections we've seen. We were, however, disappointed that MSN does not offer their customers a technical support phone line or informative tutorials.
