View Full Version : Where to buy music online?
Does anyone use any site other than itunes for digital music? I found the virgin, tesco and MSN sites but do you use any others? It has to be cheap as well.
Thanks.
Be careful when using the likes of Tesco. Thier tunes DRM only allow 3 burns, and limited playing!!! Somethinglike only 40 listens, then it stops working.
I use Itunes for the stuff i need. It has the fairest of DRM. Ok, so you cant play the format on many other MP3 players, but thats eay to get round. Burn them to CD, then re-import them in Itunes,as MP3's. I suppose that you could do that to all downloaded music.
Sorry, I'm confused, can you explain the concept of the question please?
Is this another puzzle? :confused:

I agree with Baph, dont you just convert all your CD's to MP3 then chuck them in the garage/loft?

No, because all my cd's are already in that format and the new music is just easier to buy online...

Ahh sorry - misunderstood.
Maybe if there had been anything released in the last 5 years or so since I bought a CD that was worth listening to then buying online would be an option.
Oh, tell a lie, bought some CD's coming through Auckland airport in June, Evanessence they was.. oh and then there was Bat out of Hell 3
Ho hum

Thanks,
But I'm not too keen on filesharing as my computer is used for work as well.
Anyone use allofmp3.com? They seem cheap but they are russian-based...

It would appear that you are encouraging the illegal download of copyright material.
Wouldn't be surprised if you were one of the wheelie-mad, stoppie-pulling speed-freaks.
There, see what you have done, gone and got me all hyphenated now !!!

Based in Russia for legal reasons.
Problem is the RIAA etc are closing in on them and trying to get the Russians to change the law/go after them.
So if you need to subscribe, bear in mind they may vanish - if its a pay per track deal, then go for it.

Also Visa and Matercrd will not deal with them anymore.
Baph, some of us would rather buy our music than rip people off. If thats what you choose to do, then good, but dont expect all of us to be the same. I have in the past used illegal download sites, but only to download vinyl that at the time, i had no why of recording to PC.

Can't tell you where to go but I can tell you to avoid Napster, the dirty thieving *******s.
Lured me in with 15 free tracks which they then didn't credit to my account and while I waited a week for customer services to reply my 7 day free trial expired (doh!) and they charged me for a months subscription.
Never had a response to any of my customer support requests or saw the free tracks. Got to be better sites out there.

Alas, sarcasam goes a miss yet again.
Just FYI, if I think something is worth having, I'll buy it, and I'm more than prepared to pay prices in high street shops (which is usually more than online).
If it's worth having, it's worth having the artist work (covers etc) as well as just the music (or video etc etc).
For those reasons, I have no real basis to actually help in the thread, since I don't buy online.
Don't get me wrong, if I'm just curious about something, or just fancy it, then downloading is an option. So is the blockbuster & love films subscriptions I have (rent it, they post it, you watch, then post back).
It's happened a number of times in the past where I've downloaded something that I was curious about, and liked it so much that I actually went out & bought it in the shops. It's also happened that I've downloaded & not bought, which yes, is illegal, but so is speeding folks :)
Maybe a light hearted approach is needed to this element of law breaking, as many of us (including me) do with other laws.
But hey, maybe I'm just a criminal who's clearly in the wrong :)

If I 'buy' any music these days I usually get it on CD via play.com
It works out cheaper to buy an album than to download individual tracks from iTunes, and the quality is much better, ie. not compressed. Also you've got a permanent copy of the track, without any restrictions as to when/where/how you play it. Rip the tracks off the CD onto your PC or MP3 player and you're away. When your PC breaks or MP3 player gets lost, you've still got your music
