They all have their pros and cons

Cyberbass specialises in major classical works. You can stream the music but can't download for later listening on your computer. You can also alter the speed, pause and rewind. Your part is highighted with an electronic piano which sounds realistic.

LearnChoralMusic has major classical works, partworks, madricals and carols, so has a wider choice than Cyberbass. You can stream or download as a midi file. As well as individual parts you can listen to a tutti version. Your part is highlighted by a sythesised sound which seems artificial compared to Cyberbasss.

Singingpractice just has major classical works. Stream or downoad as a midi file, but no tutti version. Synthesised sound similar to LearnChoralMusic.

Johnfletchermusic has a very wide range of choral music, including works by modern composers and popular stuff. Stream or download as an MP3 file. The synthesised music following your part sounds particulary artificial and boring. For music still in copyright you can register and pay, but it is only £4.40 for a 4 month licence and there is no limit on the number of files you can download. A group subscription is possible which then costs less per member,depending on the size of the group.
