Well... I've made my purchase....

Now, I was wondering which website is the best for downloading songs. I don't really understand Napster's Pricing structure. (You pay a membership fee and plus you pay a per song price? )
Has anyone tried Walmart? (.88 a song)

Which is your favorite and why?


Can you also load CDs which you have already purchased?

Plays for sure website (7 different music stores) (http://www.playsforsure.com/SearchResults.aspx?searchtype=GetStartedStores&cat=AllMusic)

Apple iTunes (http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/)

I use Itunes because I am familiar with it and it is so easy to use. Once you download Itunes onto the computer you can easily upload songs from your cd collection. Buying is very easy (although at 99 cents/song it is not the cheapest). It is easy to organize them into playlists so you can just play whatever you're in the mood for.

I use iTunes, and also have used others, but not sure which ones without asking. :D

I also download my CD's to the computer, right into iTunes.

Usually I just rip my cds into itunes but if there's a rare song I want or something like that, I'll download it from the apple itunes service. Perhaps its bit daft but with all this digital rights management stuff saying "you can only copy it x times, use it on y different devices" etc.... I kinda still prefer to buy a proper cd if I want a whole album.

iTunes will let you burn as many CDs as you want but a particular playlist (the same songs) can only be burned 8 times. I found this out the hard way and had a heck of a time trying to work around it :D

You have to physically change the playlist (add a song, delete a song) not just shuffle them
