Some things are only available if you become a Magnatune member.

Here are some of them:

• Favorites: while you're listening to albums, you can mark them as one of your favorites (more)
  • Personal podcast: subscribe using iTunes (or any other podcast downloader) and your favorite albums are automatically downloaded in the background. Have an iPod? If so, your favorite albums can automatically be added to your iPod. All you have to do is mark an album as a "Favorite" (more)
  • iTunes stream import: one-click instant import into iTunes of your favorite albums. Re-click "import" to keep iTunes up to date with your favorites.
  • Personal Playlists: online playing of your favorite albums, either one-album-at-a-time or shuffle-play. Use our our web site player, or your own favorite desktop audio program.
• Commercial free-listening: use all of Magnatune and never hear any commercials
• Unlimited downloading: with a download membership you can grab any album you like. No DRM, and you even get to keep the albums if you cancel your membership.
• Musicians get paid: half your membership fee goes directly to the musicians you stream or download.
• History of your downloads
