Their selection sucks, though, or at least did about 6 months ago when I
used my trial.  A music service is worthless if I can't find the music I
want.

iTunes has had virtually everything I have looked for.  And I don't care
if the file is mp3 or m4a.  If I need it to run on another system, it is
easy enough to convert...
