The list of legitimate alternatives to the music-trading networks that were used by nearly 60 million people last year grew larger this week with a new service from San Diego-based MusicMatch. Similar to Apple’s successful iTunes, which claimed 10 million downloads earlier this month, MusicMatch will let users download songs for 99 cents without a subscription. Like iTunes, each MusicMatch download is restricted according to a set of uniform rules: Tracks are playable on as many as three PCs, can be transferred to Windows Media-supported mobile players and can be burned to CDs.
