Music Subscription Service Recommendations?

[Guest]

I'm looking at getting at joining an online music subscription service in addition to downloading songs I really want to keep in my library. When I'm working on a version of song, I want to hear at least six different (hopefully, *very* different) versions of the songs. I think an online service would be my best bang-for-the-buck for this use. Thing is most promote themselves by their popular collection.

In looking for strength in the jazz genre, I like Rhapsody so far. The pure number of songs is pretty strong. I look up "Joy Spring" and I get 21 hits. Clifford Brown ('course), Manhattan Transfer, Arturo Sandoval, like that. "A Night in Tunisia"? 72 hits. Diz, Eddie Jefferson, Ella, Chaka Khan, Lambert Hendricks & Ross...

Do you subscribe to an online music service that's particularly strong in the jazz repertoire? By the way, I'm a vocalist particularly interested in bebop and vocalese.

Thanks

Sign up for the free trial of Yahoo Music Service. It's one of the better deals out there...and since it's a subscription service, you can download as many songs as you want to your computer (you just can't burn them). They are powered by a company called MusicNet, they are one of the largest digital distributors in the country and have an excellent jazz collection...including the entire Fantasy catalog.
