Best LEGAL MP3 Download sites
Can you recommend some decent sites where I can legally download albums and singles in MP3 format. Previously all the sites I have tried (admitedly not many) only provide WMA files which doesn't suit me as my MP3 car stereo can't play WMAs.
Thanx |

Re: Best LEGAL MP3 Download sites
Blimey, this revived an old thread. With iTunes' huge popularlity are the alternatives really able to compete? Anyone used play.com or other sites to buy music. What format do they use and what do they charge?

 Just visit any legal MP3 download site... search for/download the tracks/albums you want, and play them in your music player of choice... which - I'd suggest, is not iTunes for many/the majority of us? But each to their own 'n' all that

Re: Best LEGAL MP3 Download sites
indeed - sites like play.com work in any browser, on any os, and provide files that play on any portable player. often at a lower price i'm not seeing the advantages for apple's product for some of us.

Re: Best LEGAL MP3 Download sites
I'm liking Play at the moment. High quality (300K) MP3s without DRM at 70p or less (if you buy the whole albums).

Re: Best LEGAL MP3 Download sites
Yeah I was looking at play last night after posting, bought from there loads of times completely missed that section, think I'll plump some money into it on payday.
Kudos to directhex for answering a 2 year old question
