ewerk 26840 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Anyone recommend any good sites for buying MP3s? The only one I've know if is itunes but I've seen cheaper alternatives out there but not sure how safe and reputable they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's now called alltunes.com, seeing as Russian prosecutors are after the owner of the site I reckon it's probably in a grey area of the law but that's good enough for me.

Because illegally downloading music is such a widespread thing that it's a socially acceptable law to break, so therefore I DO find it hard to believe that a small section of 'up their own arsers' opt to pay for MP3s that are often readily available for nothing.

It's double standards I know and if it means I'm 'up my own arse' then so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's sort of my take, although I'm more into CDs still but I have less qualms if it's a well-known artist about getting them copied or whatever. A less well known artist probably earns next to nowt. I actually like to own originals though in general and in most cases do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But regarding MP3s, what's the difference between a purchased one and a free one? Nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
