Thanks to the suggestions I got on this post, I was able to finish off my download allotment and cancel the account, meaning I won’t have to pay $12 US for a music service I won’t use. It’s a good thing, since that particular service doesn’t provide music from many of the top-name artists (Sting and Elton John among many, many others) and actually obliquely suggests you go buy their music from iTunes. At that point, why in the world would I pay for a subscription and get nothing from it but a redirection to a site where I’d just have to pay additional to get what I want? However, if your music of choice can be found on CD Baby, you’d have better luck.
My happiest find, as well as the largest cohesive number of downloads, was a collection of drum rhythms by Solace that I’d been wanting ever since my instructor used it in class. I’m hoping that a new infusion of music might help bring back the enthusiasm that I’ve been lacking lately.
