the only source that I have more or less consistently used for music, lately, is Pandora.

I've never owned an MP3 player.

2 years ago I would have said Emusic. Now, I don't know. A booth at a show is probably best :^P

Amazon

They lowered their prices for new music even more to 69cents a song while iTunes raised new released to $1.29 a song last year.

I own an ipod, zune, and phone. So I have used all 3 major sources and find I prefer Amazon for a variety of reasons not the least of which being very cheap.

Hmm, a lot of votes for other but few comments. Should I assume they are just self-righteous pirates?

Amazon + the legal Napster -- for $5/month you get unlimited PC streaming plus 5 MP3 downloads.

I use Zune Pass to get most of my music. Unlimited downloads + streaming from everything in their catalog PLUS 10 song purchase credits/month (in MP3 format) for $14.99. It kicks ass.

If it's something I can't find on there I'll just buy the CD and rip the MP3s myself.

I never pay for mp3 downloads.

Pitchfork.com
stereogum.com
gorillavsbear.net
blog.kexp.org
bestnewtracks.com
chippedhip.com

And about a dozen others.

If I like what I hear, I buy the CD.

I have about 582 GB of randomly downloaded music (accumulated over about 10 years), plus all my CD rips.

XM or the radio. I don't buy a lot of music. I'll buy physical albums off Amazon. If I go digital, it's iTunes. Really the only option in Canada.

While you can't burn it to a CD, you can access it anywhere.

If I can't burn it then it is effectively useless since my car wouldn't have access.

I am pleased with the results of the poll otherwise.

Never heard of Spotify. The problem with itunes, amazon, etc, is if you lose the songs for whatever reason, you have to re-pay to download them again.

Will never buy songs from these sources unless i can download them again at a later time without any penalty.
