Musicmatch's song catalog is ok, but needs a lot more titles to be comprehensive. It's fairly easy to find the title you are looking for, but often they do not have it available for download.
The software client (what you run on your pc) is iffy; it is based on marimba (a java technology), and if left running long enough it takes all the virtual memory on your pc.
The thing that makes this legal online song delivery medium unacceptable for me, though, is the fact that they sell your email address to spammers. I had a yahoo address at which I never received spam (honest!). I told them not to contact me with any "special offers"; basically I opted for maximum privacy. But the day after I signed up for the service (and without engaging in any other transaction that might have got me on the spam lists) I started to get offers for mortgages, genital enlargement, you know the rest. This makes me mad.
I docked them a star for selling email addresses, and another for the inadequate catalog.
