GetMusic

EW's GRADE
B

Urban sprawl is bad. Cybersprawl is worse. Take New York City-based GetMusic.com, for instance: It's not one site but seven (member URLs include country-themed www.twangthis.com and hip-hop-oriented www.peeps.com). Why the tangle of pages? To accommodate a metric ton of tracks, articles, and sundries, some of which are actually kind of nifty (the No Doubt Ms. Pac-Man game is good Shockwave-driven fun). Behind the Music fans will surely delight in video interviews with personages as diverse as Christina Aguilera, Creed, and classical pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet. So yes, there's something for everyone — but the same can be said of Wal-Mart. B
