Whats the best way to get music without iTunes Music Store?
There are several legal ways to get music electronically. • Magnatune is a non-evil label that sifts through artists to find the best in… mainly trance and electronica (with smatterings of rock and folk). Half of the purchase price for songs goes directly to the artist. You can also listen to full albums (not 30-second clips) online for free. • eMusic sells a lot of songs from independent music labels (and even a few mainstream artists). Don’t know that the artists get 50% of sales, though. • Jamendo allows artists to publish their music under a free license for non-commercial use (if the artist wants to go commercial later, too, that’s okay). So all downloads are completely free in every way (unless you’re trying to scam money off the artist). A lot of French music, but also random other stuff. There’s good French music, though. I’m kind of a pop music lover myself, so my favorites is Mel’s. • The Amazon MP3 store has quite a wide selection and is your best electronic bet for mainst
