I-tunes, Napster etc etc
Discussion
Can anyone give me an idiots guide to the music download sites these days?
Do they tend to have a subscription or is it pay per download? (presume the free ones have gone!)
Are they secure? Sound like an old git, but I'm still quite weary who I submit my card details to online.
Do they download conventional audio files? This applies mostly to i-tunes I guess..... I seem to remember they have a specific i-tunes format rather than MP3 or whatever. Fine if you had an iPod, but not so good if you want to make up mix CDs or stick them on a conventional MP3 player. Also, don't hey have some sort of copy protection on them? I'm not interested in distributing them to anyone, but having had one hard drive crash wiping out my MP3 collection and having gone through several computers since I first got music files, it would be good to have something I can copy and transfer.

Such as....... 
Had a play round with my misus' i-tunes account the other day and that wasgreat - all those random little tunes I'd never want to be seen buying the album of are suddenly within my grasp! The only thing is I believe that's i-tunes format only and write protected, I want an MP3 I can transfer (for my own wholly legal purposes, yes)
