| 625479 | 2007-12-28 20:37:00 | Does anyone know of a site for downloads of MP3s that is a pay-as-you-go and not requiring a monthly fee and/or contract? I tried emusic . com and found their us rules stiff and I could not see what music they actually offered unless I committed to their service . I don't like certain types of music, and don't care for up-and-coming artists either . . I am a little more staid in my choices although I like an occasional performance by the Black-Eyed Peas . . . don't laugh . :rolleyes: The MP3 format without DRMs and such is a good thing that emusic offers, but the rest of the package isn't worth the monthly fee whether you download any music of not . |

| 625482 | 2007-12-28 21:50:00 | Have you tried the Itunes store? , i know people dislike it but it really does have alot of music. A small selection of their music is now DRM free as well, so it will pay to check it out. DRM'ed songs i think are 99 cents (USD) while the non DRM'd ones are a bit more expensive - with no monthly fee. | noone (22) | ||

| 625484 | 2007-12-28 23:56:00 | Hi SJ You could have a look at Amazon.com. I am not sure of their terms and conditions because I scouted around a bit and did not see anything specific. However I have bought quite a few albums from them and no limits etc -- just pay as you go for those. Also, you will not be constrained by the comment on their site (that I have just noticed !) Please note: Amazon MP3 is currently limited to US customers. Suggest you check out further. Misty :D (I have made a separate apology to Foxy on another thread as Amazon will not suit her after all). |

I was gonna mention rutunes.com (www.rutunes.com/) which lists most of the better AllOfMP3 replacements but I'm sure you you realise the questionable legality of such sites. I set up an account at MP3Sugar (http:) a while ago because they had an album I was keen on but hard to find and the initial base deposit ($NZ40 I think) was used up by me without any hassle. All your basic DRM-free MP3s from these services of course. |

| 625487 | 2007-12-29 00:24:00 | Is emusic subscription based? Yep. Have you already done the 50 free downloads SJ? Just sign-up and give it a spin, because like they say "you can cancel anytime". You can also browse eMusic's catalogue freely (www.emusic.com) before registering. |
