Yesterday we reported that the once infamous P2P client Kazaa was set to make a comeback, this time as a legal net music store. The timeline was unclear, but the store has gone live today.

For just $19.98/mo, you can download unlimited music files, and play those files on up to 3 PCs that you own. The subscription package is for PC only, which means that you won’t be able to play those files on a portable music player. The files will remain playable while your subscription is active – once your subscription ends, you will no longer be able to play those files.

I'm all for having access to music for a reasonable cost. 20 bucks is too damn expensive though. For five bucks less you might as well go with Rhapsody and at least they let you transfer music to portable players. I really think these services should be 10 bucks or less though.

for just $0 per month bittorrent will allow you to download as much music as you like which you can play on unlimited pcs and other compatible devices. When your free subscription ends the files just keep on working also available games , movies , ringtones and so much more and all for the princely sum of $0

Unlike other music services that charge you every time you download a song,...

....Kazaa allows you to listen to as much music as you want for one low monthly fee.

You may not be able to choose the songs you listen to on the radio, but I'll take the randomness over $20/month for music that I can't even listen to in my car or through my living room sound system. I'd be forced to isolate myself from my family in my office to listen on crappy PC speakers.

Originally posted by Mez:I've been buying vinyls lately. I've bought some from my favorite artists for about $20 each. They either came with a CD inside or a card with a passcode that lets you download the CD (192kbps). It's definitely making a comeback. I personally thoroughly enjoy the sound quality and the large print artwork, as well as the nostalgia of old school analog.
Darthya vinyl is coming back not they I buy into that one.
Originally posted by Mez:Yeah, I hear ya on the 192k download. I was actually surprised to find the card in a vinyl that I bought. I wasn't expecting anything more than the vinyl, and paid $20 because I really like the artist. I didn't keep the digiat copies, as I already had obtained vbr copies of the songs through other means.
Intersting, at $20 with a CD that is a deal. I concurr with the larger album art. CDs are dirt cheap to make so they shouldn't add to the cost.
For the 192 BR down loads I would pass unless that was encoded by a HiFi encoder using a modern compression routines. Modern meaning this century not last century. Otherwise I would want to digitise it my self and do it right.
