Best music download site

[flyingjase]

What is the best site to download and keep music?

I joined Napster but you have to keep subscribing to listen to it, which doesn't make any sense to my old fashioned view of the music industry

I want to pay, download and keep (just like buying a CD online I suppose)

Is this possible or should I just carry on buying CD's?

Thanks - out of touch one!

Is it rude to suggest Itunes?

No, but do you have to have an iPod? What happens if you want to use the music on another system?

The idea I have is to create a central hub in my house with all my music and then put it through a network. iTunes seems to limit what hardware / software you use if you want to migrate your music over and play it in a different format.

Or am I wrong??

gomusic.ru is the one I use if buying albums. Usually $3 for an album. The FAQ page states that its fully legal and that they are paying TAX to the russian government (however i suspect it's too cheap to be legal)
If i'm just buying one track from an album I use ITunes.

Interesting - very cheap!

Ever had any problems with your credit card details on this site?

I'd be interested if they offer lossless FLAC or WAV media.

What is the difference? Is one better?

Just found this:-

www.yourfreemusicdownloads.com

but after signing up it says you have to wait 3-6 weeks for your account to be active. Sounds s a bit fishy to me. They claim to provide freee tracks by selling advertising on the site.

Watch me now get loads of spam!!
