Where else can one find a large selection of legal downloads? iTunes is unstable and frustrating to use, not to mention slow to run. And I'm not giving my credit card number to some Russian site!

I'm fairly new to the music download arena. But I went here and have not looked back. :D

Hopefully this is what you're looking for. :cool:

Be warned, I just went there and Rocket made my computer act stupid.
I had to system restore back to yesterday.

Might be my computer, but be careful...

[I got Limewire , and Joost for online TV anyway. I was just checking it out...
But always be careful with any of these things]

I only activate it during my search/downloads and have had no issues. Just shut it down when your finished with the D/Ls.

Yes, always be careful!

Walmart.com has a lot of music to download, and it's cheaper than most. If you have a problem, they take care of it fast.

RIAA has already proven that they go after individual users of P2P file sharing networks. Use these at your own risk. You may find music industry lawyers serving you one day.

Amazon.com now has downloads (albums and individual songs). The single songs are .99 each, about the norm. Easier to use than iTunes.

My main source is www.mp3sparks.com

Whole albums less than $2.50, many tunes 10 and 20 cents.

You can search and select OFFLINE and CHOOSE the format and quality of the tunes. If iTunes was this good, I'd pay the extra money and they'd be worth it.

buy the CD get full waves and give your ears a treat.
of course you will need a good set of speakers and a Digital to analog converter but it is well worth it.

Actually it's the same folks as allofMP3 or at least close enough where they transferred my account for me. You can't pay them directly, you just use a proxy spoof and pay through any of the recommended Euro banks. no problem.

FYI.. before anyone starts screaming about artists not getting paid their royalties... do your homework. I did. You have to dig deep for the truth on this and it ain't pretty. If you want to know more, email me, but I don't want to see politics posted here, but I'll be happy to share what I found.
