Where I buy music..
I have tried a lot of site to buy Mp3's and seem to always run into trouble.. Like with Futureshops Bonfire I paid for the last Hip CD tiring to support Canadian artists.. and was only able to download about half of the tracks.. and the tracks that I have don't play. Customer service sucked when tiring to get help, so being the stubborn ass that I am.. I will never purchase any music from them again.
iTunes has restrictions on the music you get, so you can only burn them to a CD a few times or they will not work in all players. I have not had as big a problem with iTunes but I don’t like paying for stuff I don’t have the freedom to us anyway I choose..
So I have turned to a new place for music, and most everything else Amazon. I don’t buy a ton of stuff on-line, but whenever I order anything from Amazon they are super fast and the best price I can find anywhere.
Amazon MP3 offers Earth's biggest selection of a la carte, DRM-free MP3 music downloads. With over 2 million songs from more than 180,000 artists represented by over 20,000 major and independent labels, Amazon MP3 complements Amazon.com's existing selection of over 1 million CDs to offer customers more selection of physical and digital music than any other retailer.

This means that Amazon MP3 customers are free to enjoy their music downloads using any hardware device, organize their music using any music management application, and burn songs to CDs.
Most songs are priced from 89 cents to 99 cents, with more than 1 million of the 2 million songs priced at 89 cents. The top 100 best-selling songs are 89 cents, unless marked otherwise. Most albums are priced from $5.99 to $9.99. The top 100 best-selling albums are $8.99 or less, unless marked otherwise.
