Where's a great place to buy music?
Moderator: Gurus
Now for another perspective.
Pirating anything is illegal, immoral, and downright wrong! With that said, artists are entitled to royalties for their work. Where to buy music-take your choice. I buy from BMG, Amazon, Best Buy, Oldies.com and several others. Some of my friends trade with each other. Keep in mind that format may be a real issue-I want the original material as close to the format used as possible (ie-tape, vinyl, CD). For those who do not care-get yourself as high quality MP3, etc as possible for your money. My 2 cents

Oldies are our main Genre. YES-we listen to Country and a few others too!

I 2nd or 3 rd, which ever Amazon.com MP3 download service. In my opinion check to see if you can get your music unprotected if it isn't a subscription first if not pirate it. You should have pay for music just to be locked down with a specific company. The only exception I would make would be subscription services like Rhapsody, and Napster where you're really just renting the track to begin with.
I've been using Alltunes for a long time (www.alltunes.com). It's the same company as AllofMP3 and have been around for a LONG time and is very reliable.
The best thing about Alltunes is that the price is charged by the MB, not by the song. Shorter songs costs less. And you can select what encoding format you like, all the way up to lossless.

The trouble with AllTunes is that it's illegal just about every country except Russia!

You could try groveshark's sharkbite to share yout music library for credit to download music, it's a P2P prgram that uses your correctly taged music to sell it to other users, that way every one gets his part, the site gets his cash, the artist too, and you get credit for future mp3 downloads.
