How do you get your music?

I had a Xmas gift subscription to Napster, but only listened, never bought, it ran out.

We used to use Napster,morpheus,and all the other "shifty" sites but went legit a long time ago.

I don't have an ipod, but use mp3 players. So I'll load some stuff from my older computer downloads, or covert a CD to mp3.

My little bro had quite the music library so it's time to update some stuff from him.

My point is, anyone use any of the pay sites to buy tracks?
I don't buy CDs like I used to unless I'm certain I like most of what's on it.

I don't like to buy music over the internet. That's not entirely true. I don't like buying music over the internet because of the DRM (Digital Rights Management) it's full of. I personally believe that once you purchase music (or movies, or anything of that nature) you have full right to convert or back-up that media into any format you wish for your own personal use. DRM restricts your use, sometimes actually rendering the music you buy unplayable.

I usually prefer to buy CDs and rip them to MP3s.

I'm currently looking into that URGE site. It costs the same as iTunes. I like the fact that you can buy one or two songs from this album and a few from that one and make your own greatest hits cd for the same price as if you bought the cd in the store. But I was under the impression that once you bought the song you could do whatever you wanted with it, copy to another CD or MP3 or whatever. Is this not true?

Anyone ever by mp3s from Amazon?

[Sweetpiv]

Nope, that's what best buy is for!!

[Phoenix]

Do you get mp3s from Best Buy.com?
I may go look.

I think that Amazon's music is now DRM-free, so you can play it on any computer without having to download/transfer licenses.
