Authorized Music Services

Please visit whymusicmatters.com, developed by the RIAA and NARM, the music business association, as a resource for music fans about the many authorized digital music models and services in today’s marketplace.

Today there are some 30 million songs available across more than 60 authorized digital services in the United States, and growing.  We can appreciate that with so many options for accessing music online also come questions about which services are legitimate and what kinds of functionality they offer.  That’s why we developed whymusicmatters.com.

Digital music is more exciting than ever. Happy surfing.
