So where do you all get your music from?

I haven't used Limewire in a LOOONG time, and need some songs. I don't want to DL full albums (torrents), either.

Any suggestions?

Torrents, but I like to get full albums. If I dig the downloaded music, I go buy it.

In the last 7 or so years, I have bought maybe 2 cds from the local used place. Not really happy with the selection lately.

NapsterToGo - $15/month for thousands of songs, works with my Sandisk Samsa and music server PC

Amazon.com, and their "used" sellers to buy some imports when cheaper.

CDBaby for indies not at Amazon (just got the new Happy Rhodes CD and am listening now)

I'm listening on Youtube right now. I don't think I'll ever DL songs anymore, unless I buy an MP3 player.

BMGMusicService.com . About twice a year they have a sale of $1.99 per CD. When you add in the $2.50 shipping and handling per CD (pretty high, I know), that comes out to be $4.49 per CD. With on average 10 songs per CD, that's $0.449 per song, which beat the hell out of ITunes' $0.99. I then rip the music to whatever bitrate I want (usually 320kbps).

The only bad thing is that the selection is good, but not great, and the releases come out about 6 months after a CD comes to market.
