Buy your music from http://www.mp3tunes.com/

All of the other sites place restrictive DRM properties on your downloaded music. Until they sell music without such annoying qualities, I won't buy from them. Just about the only music download service that sells plain mp3's is http://www.mp3tunes.com/

Their selection isn't huge but hopefully more well known artists will participate in such a great concept.

doesn't mean a thing

Doesn't mean a thing to the record companies/riaa. Just means more money in their pocket and more control in their hands. I'll stick to the cds -- something I have control over. The thing the big wigs don't realize is most youngers don't wont any trouble and won't put up much of a fight. There was even a study revealing how little high schoolers value their rights. The youngsters of today are nothing like the youngsters of the 70s
