Good site for MP3 dowloads

[JennyMominRI]

Allofmp3.com has dowload for like 12 cents each..Older songs cheaper..Whole albums are like 2.50

Thanks for that link to iTunes -- I had thought there was a limit of 10 burnings per track. Did that change? or am I remember something different?

10 burnings of a specific playlist.

True, but not really a legal site in the USA. It is a Russian company that pays nobody any royalties. All you are really buying is bandwidth from them.

Shutterbug - I do not even know the answer to your question!

How do you hook it to iTunes?

No, not all - online music purchases are all write protected and it is illegal to remove this encryption which would be a prerequisite to transforming the music files to the default iTunes format (AAC). There IS a piece of software floating about for macs that removes iTunes encryption, only last I heard of THAT enterprise Apple had sued them off the face of the earth. Use of decrypting technology is not only illegal, it is impossible for the average user.

iTunes will convert average MP3s and standardised music files to non-encrypted AAC, Apple lossless and a few other universal formats as well - it will NOT convert music purchased from other download sites.

I guarantee it.

I hope you have a money back guarentee because I have done it. iTunes goes through your computer and will take all your MP3s and convert them to aac or mp4 if you want. No third party software required.

Is there anywhere you can download songs and keep them forever or are all site based on subscription? How about when you purchse per song? Does that make a difference

Itunes didn't convert any of my downloaded music from Musicmatch and Bearshare. We had to burn all those songs to disk and then upload them to iTunes.

Someone posted the portion of the T&Cs for ITunes that indicated that songs purchased from ITunes grant you an non-expiring license to listen to that music. The limited-time subscription services are actually relatively new, as a way of giving customers what they want: Lower prices (for less product/service).

Yep, really.

 

[KathyFP]

I am not sure what I should do now. What is most cost effective??

My DSD got an MP3 player for Christmas, and I can't get to iTunes, because we are not running Windows 2000 (we have Windows ME). Is there a good site that we can use?

 

[bicker]

That depends on the person. These services all have their advantages and the fact that it is so easy to find out what services are available and what prices they charge results in a situation where, objectively, the various options are all pretty-much comparable to each other. So the differentiation comes with regard to your own personal needs, that would tend to make you feel that one approach to buying digital music is better or worse for you.

I really hope this is true, could you tell me where and how you convert them, and are you sure that you can convert to MP4 (video)? Is it in the toolbar (seems I have seen this before, but can't find it now) We are using a third party software to convert but would love to do it all within iTunes.

Crud. Maybe that's what I did. I had switched to a new computer right when I got my iPod and burned all my dled songs before I took the old one down. When I ripped them onto my new computer.

Tinijocaro: I think you just go to import music and it'll go through your computer looking for music.

Ah, a crossed wire. As I said, generic music files (shich by definition are NOT write protected) can be converted, by iTunes, ffmpegx, QuickTime or pretty much anything. Downloaded tracks from LEGAL ONLINE SERVICES are all write protected ENCRYPTED files which cannot be converted - only burnt and then re-ripped.

PD, What's this mean in English, please?

I have Win ME too. Make sure your MP3 player is compatible with your computer. Most of the newer models aren't.

Two sites I've found that work with Win ME for downloading music are:Walmart.com in which you CAN buy to own songs at $0.88

and Emusic.com 125 Free Songs to download during a one month free trial.
They do NOT have the most popular, up-to-date hit tunes. Most are oldies, new age, some Broadway tunes & lots of second & third rate albums by artists. But if you are older, you can find a few classic oldies gems for free. Pick through the compilations by "various artists" and you will find a few good songs by the original artists. To simply see what songs Emusic.com before signing up, click on Emusic.com Search

Basically, it falls into the category of, "If it sounds too good to be true, it is." One of the biggest problems with digital media is that it is so easy for people in countries that don't honor or enforce international copyright laws to basically sell stuff they don't own.

I have a weird question for you from a novice IPOD person. Is it true that if you hook your IPOD up to another computer, it will erase all of the songs that you already previously downloaded from your own computer (onto the IPOD)

 

[Tinijocaro]

My understanding is that any time you hook your iPod up to a computer, it updates to the current version of iTunes, so any changees you've made since the last time you updated, your iPod will pick up on. So, if you are on a new computer, it will "update" all the new songs, and get rid of any songs on your iPod that aren't on the new iTunes. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
