Without subscribing you can listen online, but there will be adverts
between tracks.  Still, it's good for testing whether it meets your
needs.  Magnatune carries a very wide selection of music, all from
non-label-signed-up musicians.  The quality is very high, and I would
think they have music for all tastes.  If you want well-known albums
this isn't for you, but if you like one or more genres and hearing new
artists, then it's definitely worth the money.

It's worth mentioning that you can download both compressed formats
and wav files, and the license allows you to share with a small number
of friends (can't remember how many, possibly 3-5).  Artists are paid
a sum for every online listen and a larger sum for every download.  As
far as I'm concerned, it's an excellent service, with ethics that I'm
happy to support.
