Recommend a Music download site (legal!)

[stytagm]

Hi All,

Can you guys recommend (preferably from personal experience) a good (legal) music download service?

I've finally decided that there might be something in this paid music downloading thing. Since I left Uni a few years back, I got back into buying CDs, but more and more I find myself wanting to buy the odd slightly obscure track, without buying a whole CD, and preferably "right now". (blame late night radio 2)

Anyway, what I'm after is:

1. Decent quality (when these things first started a few years back, they all seemed to be flogging 128kbps tracks, which was rubbish even then.)
2. MP3 - (I don't have an Ipod, and I'm not going to get one, or any other proprietary player).
3. DRM - I'm not fundamentally opposed to DRM, but as mentioned I want this stuff to work on a generic (cheap) player, and WMP/Winamp/trayplay/whatever.
4. - less vital - a Huuuuuuuge selection of stuff. I don't want to download the Radio 1 playlist (shudder) I want to download obscure interesting stuff that is hard to find in Zavvi and all the other drossy mainstream highstreet shops.

Cheers in advance,
Andrew.

AFAIK they all have DRM on iTunes/wma

play.com for mainstream, bleep.com for obscure?

you could have a look at e-music. they have some quite obscure stuff on there and it is very cheap
