Hi,
which site do you guys use to buy your music downloads? I just want to download some singles to make a cd. Seems like some sites want you to install their program first before you can pay and downloand the music. Any suggestions?

I like Musicmatch -- the only caveat is that you need to register with a credit card to buy music using their free music player. Singles are $0.99 and CDs are $9.99 (generally). I believe it supports more of a variety of mp3 players than Napster (just FYI).

I've used Walmart and it only downloads in WMA format.

Of the three, I like Musicmatch the best.

I like puretracks' solution. It allows you to download the file wherever you want to, and it allows to burn your tracks onto a cd(that you can rip later on)or a DRM compatible portable player upto 3 times. What I don't like about it is the whole DRM thing requiring you to play the tracks in WMP. I like Winamp, so until winamp supports DRM'ed .wma files, I will be getting my files the old fashioned way ...

My suggestions for the best PPD site:

• Ability to purchase and download music videos, as well as songs.
• 59 cents per song; 79 cents per video
• At least 97% of that 59/79 cents will be paid to the artist.
• Absolutely no DRM or license restrictions.
• Neither songs nor videos will be edited for content.

Go to DanaCountryman.com He's a musician who provides some free downloads and links to other folk. There is plenty of music out there that is not copyrighted or where copyright may never have been made.

Bit Torrent – legal and you will not be disappointed – used for downloading Linux and everything else under the sun. Do a Google search…

WARNING - Some bittorrent downloads are not legal. The software itself is legal, but before downloading anything look up to see if the item is copywrited. This is much like many of the other P2P applications out there. If you decide to download an item that is copywrited you may end up with the RIAA sending you letters.

www.download.com has some MP3 downloads. Mostly artists that have not established themselves, but you can sometimes find an amerald in the rough.

Correct--copyrighted music "shared" via bit torrent is patently illegal.

Hello,

I currently have musicmatch/papa johns/coca-cola promo codes that are good for downloading 4 songs from the musicmatch digital music store for auction on ebay. Each code is $1.45 and will allow 4 song downloads of your choice. I have 171 of these codes for auction. Please see url:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...060137677&rd=1 for more details

Take care, Mike

I've always used club.mp3search.ru, which seems really good to me.
