You could try groveshark's sharkbite to share yout music library for credit to download music, it's a P2P prgram that uses your correctly taged music to sell it to other users, that way every one gets his part, the site gets his cash, the artist too, and you get credit for future mp3 downloads.

Amazon MP3 is a DRM free legal download site. You can read more on it on Wikipedia.

The trouble with AllTunes is that it's illegal just about every country except Russia! :)

I've been using Alltunes for a long time (www.alltunes.com). It's the same company as AllofMP3 and have been around for a LONG time and is very reliable.

The best thing about Alltunes is that the price is charged by the MB, not by the song. Shorter songs costs less. And you can select what encoding format you like, all the way up to lossless.

I 2nd or 3 rd, which ever Amazon.com MP3 download service. In my opinion check to see if you can get your music unprotected if it isn't a subscription first if not pirate it. You should have pay for music just to be locked down with a specific company. The only exception I would make would be subscription services like Rhapsody, and Napster where you're really just renting the track to begin with.

Now for another perspective.
Pirating anything is illegal, immoral, and downright wrong! With that said, artists are entitled to royalties for their work. Where to buy music-take your choice. I buy from BMG, Amazon, Best Buy, Oldies.com and several others. Some of my friends trade with each other. Keep in mind that format may be a real issue-I want the original material as close to the format used as possible (ie-tape, vinyl, CD). For those who do not care-get yourself as high quality MP3, etc as possible for your money. My 2 cents

You could also try www.mp3.ua

If you like electronic music try:

Boomkat.com (for vinyls, cds and Digital downloads)
Beatport.com (just downloads)
Hardwax.de (Famous Berlin record store, also mailorder)
Bleep.com (Warp Records digital offshoot)
Gemm.com and discogs.com for the antiques and new stuff as well

Finally, I can buy some tracks and I do not need pay $30 for shipping to Serbia.

Amazon sells unprotected MP3 music

by Mitch470 » Fri Oct 19, 2007 9:22 am

Amazon.com is now selling MP3 files of songs for 89 cents to 99 cents. No protection is embedded in the files.

Rhapsody

by loubob73 » Wed Oct 17, 2007 11:54 am

I actually use Rhapsody. I pay $15 a month for unlimited "downloads". As soon as I "add" a track to my Rhapsody library, it is automatically downloaded into the "my music" folder on my C drive. I have MM set up to automatically scan this folder. So, I only use Rhapsody to download music. Once I have the music, all of my listening and organizing is done through MM (Rhapsody really sucks as a music player, and, in any case, nothing beats The Monkey!) Most of my listening is done through the ScrobblerDJ function. I have an RCA Lyra Wireless device (I got it for about $40 on Ebay!), which allows me to listen to PC music through my stereo speakers. I also have a Zen Vision:M portable MP3 player. This device is compatible with RhapsodyToGo. So all of the music I download from Rhapsody I can play on this device for no extra charge. The tracks from Rhapsody contain DRM, and if I ever want to burn anything to CD, I have to pay extra (about $1 a track) to do this. But I never need to. With this set up, I can listen to all of my music through my stereo (Lyra Wireless), on the go, or in the car (Zen Vision:M). I have access to the entire Rhapsody library for $15 a month. Can't help but think I'm making out pretty good. ;)

I like e music and I got winamp and stream ripper mega music there if you dont mind putting them in a editor and doing a little editing.

by nohitter151 » Thu Oct 11, 2007 3:27 pm

I would recommend amazon.com. The tracks are cheap, they have a large mainstream collection, and the files are DRM free, meaning you can do whatever you want with them. As far as I know, no other download site offers these options (at least not legally!)

EMusic

by royzee » Thu Oct 11, 2007 2:32 pm

I subscribed to Napster and never bought a single track - I liked the preview feature to check before buying CDs as I want the artwork etc.
I now only subscribe to EMusic and that has been DRM free forever. It;s so good to be able to burn DL MP3s to CD to play in the car.

Worth looking around EMusic - the search function is VG - and reading the message board just in case your taste is not along the lines offered. Virtually no chart music but tons worth a listen. I always use up my quota. They have the occasional free album too and some of these are great. Loads of classical and jazz if you like them. No problems with MM either. Sometimes the ID3tags are erroneous though.

i agree on that scare tactics being called for what it is.

but i think if memory serves me they dropped the case against
the kid and mom or was that the one on the kid and his grandma? or the one on the kid and his older brother or sister and their mom and dad.
or the one on the 2 year old that got hold of buttons to playwith?
too many cases to keep straight.

but you know pirates will steal from kids and take food out of a baby's mouth if they want it bad enough.

but did you know all songs have been copyrighted by the lable for 35 years or so until after the artist is dead? then if the family is still around they can get the copyright back.
if not then the company retains it.

sounds like pirates to me,?
and to the really rich artists they were the only ones that had the money to buy back their copyrights or their parents copyrights.

but what do you expect when the companys were started out as pirate companys themselfs. forcing radio dj's to pay to play songs on the air, even though they had a contract to be supplyed with songs from company artists. it was called payola and it did not go away they still do it.
