Alternatively URGE By the Track allows you to buy songs for $.99 per track or full albums starting at around $9.95. Music and songs downloaded are protected by the Windows Digital Rights Management (DRM) software.

Forbes reviewed URGE digital music download store and jukebox and URGE integration with Windows Media Player 11, and concluded that “I found URGE simple to use and a good fit with Windows Media Player 11, but something that could really set it apart from other services isn’t yet available – namely exclusive music recorded on MTV shows like “MTV Unplugged”, which MTV Networks promises to offer, in addition to music videos for download (currently they can only be streamed).

Still, for playing catch-up in the online music space, URGE is off to a pretty good start.”
