I don't think I was aware of this Music Service until now: They claim Daily Downloads. http://www.tophitsusa.com/ Has anyone here used them before? Know anyone who does?
Who Is Subscribing To This?

Been using it for at least the last 6 months. Prior to the daily downloads I've been getting the monthly MP3 CD that has ALL the downloads for the entire month. All tracks are 320 kb.
You are permitted two downloads per track. I believe they use a 60 day cycle and delete tracks as others replace them. Be sure to download with 45 days or you'll loose out downloading; however, you'll get the end of month MP3 CD that has all the tracks. Cheaper and faster than subscribing to the weekly T- or C- Discs.
At my leisure I copy from the end of month MP3 Disc to a CD those T-Discs and C-Discs (weeklys) for a hard copy back up in case the Laptop or external HD crashes. There is a Recurrent Disc for each major genre; Country, Top40, Dance, R&B, Latin, Jazz. I carry the Recurrents with me as backup. Each Recurrent has the best tracks (20) of the past 2 months; 6 discs and you have the entire year covered of the most popular songs.
Since I use Latin tracks in this area, the monthly Latin CD works great, same for Jazz.
Hope the explanation makes sense. Monthly MP3/Daily Download subscription is $54.95.

Wanted to clarify that I have been using TopHits T-Discs and Recurrent Discs, Jazz and Latin since early 2000. I've also used Promo Only and PriceCuts. Recently stopped PrimeCuts to save $$$ and duplication of music (TopHits MP3). Since the Daily Downloads are "daily", I don't need a weekly PrimeCuts CD or Jazz and Latin cds. Nothing against Prime Cuts. Jim has been efficient and reliable.

Canute, I’ve been using them since July 1992, starting with ‘T’ 126 series. The ‘T’ series was a cd with wave files. Somewhere around T911, they switched over to ‘M’series (MP3’s). I got my last shipment 25 Feb (M158).
September2003 I started the video series (VH10). I gave up using those VHS tapes. I converted the tapes to MP4’s.
Every December they give you a cd of Christmas music.
I use the monthly disc series instead of the weekly series (cheaper). I don’t use their download (just my choice).
I will not say they are the best for everybody….but I will not change, I am completely satisfied.

P.S. i agree with Art

Now I remember but it seemed so different, maybe they changed their Website or something. It has been awhile.
