    Where is the best place to buy music online? Just simple MP3's that I will convert to CD's. I'm trying to do things the right way, lol........

    if you are going to convert to CD later, why not just buy the CD to start with? i am a member of BMG music club. when they got good deals, i get about $5 or $6 dollars per CD after tax and shipping. that's like less than 50 cents per song. and i ripped them into 320 KBPS files for my iPod later. great quality that way.

    I don't want all of the songs on a CD. Sometimes I only want a particular song.

    I also have BMG, but I mainly use them for things like greatest hits CD's.

    oh, i guess i am too old school. :D i like the whole album theme thing. i only get greatest hits for bands that i am not totally into. as for online files, i have seen songs less than 99 cents depending on the album. not too sure on how they work though.

    I like 19 cents, compared to 89 cents from Amazon. Do you use them a lot? Seems like a foreign site....

    I find a combination of Amazon and iTunes to be pretty good.

    Or you can rip songs from Myspace.

    But then again you might as well just download from the torrents.

    Because it is illegal.

    Your rationale sucks. If you ever have to go to court for any reason, some advice, don't use this rationale as a defense. ;)
