What music service would you recommend besides apple?

[Rapidskies]

Wondering what music service you would recommend for downloading mp3's or wma files. I've seen Microsoft music is .99 a song and Walmart is .88 a song. I will be getting an mp3 player that supports DRM. Anyway what would you recommend?

Some people don't notice inferior quality and are quite happy with the songs downloaded from Apple, Nap, etc.

I'm not one of those people but hey, to each his own.

1) How would you know?
2) If the band has a catchy tune or two surrounded by crappy filler, do you really want to support them? There are plenty of albums out there worth buying in full, and I'd guess very few people have even a significant percentage of them.

Anyway, I'm gonna suggest the ruskie site as well.

If they ever hear a quality setup they'll notice the difference and will have to live with the inferior music or re-purchase it. If you're really dead-set on buying lossy music, at least don't pay full price for it.

I buy CDs and rip them to lossless FLAC, but to preview CDs and hear songs I don't care about as much, Napster.com is pretty good.

If you get the right player, for $15/month you can essentially rent unlimited music for your portable and your PC, as many tracks as you want. You just can't burn those tracks to a CD without paying the $1/song.

A fantastic russian site.

USENE...vermind

 

[Mo0o]

Wait.. what is this russian site. I feel really dumb.. PM?

 

[dadeef]
