Itunes is getting expensive, I heard of yahoo's unlimited download which sounds really nice, any other suggestions?

My music preference is about 40% mainstream, 25% 80's, 25% euro, 10% other.

whatever mp3 site you settle on, at least pray they give you option to download lossless version

I grab them at local pawn shops, yard sales, and flea markets usually. Average cost between 1 to 3 dollars.

Real Rhapsody.

Pay a monthly fee for unlimited streaming. Unhappy that you can't get MP3s? That's why there are portable MP3 players....

I pay $2 / month cuz of student discount for this ownage.

Don't purchase, rent.

Buy a 1 year yahoo music subscription, it's one of the best purchases I ever made.

If you care about audio quality allofmp3 is nearly as expensive as buying the CD's (for FLAC, 450-500 MB for a CD = $9-10 last time I checked).

Renting music is great, I get to browse through a huge selection, discover new stuff, & then if I really like it I can go buy the CD (and I have purchased several CD's as a result of my Yahoo subscription).

Eh... for those of us on dialup (*cough*), it's easier for me to download from allofmp3 in mp3 format... especially since the speakers I use wouldn't make downloading higher quality worth it.
