 thiefinni's recommendation | |
- Tracks are sensibly priced (5-15 US cents each). Anybody still paying the fortunes that iMusic etc charge needs their head examining.
- They have all the Beatles work and the NOW! series (both UK and US versions) as well as loads of other albums that are legally unavailable there.
- Better selection than mp3search.ru and unlike that site remains easy to use
- Occasionally the selection lets me down, but generally you can tell that music lovers have put the music here, not music industry marketing geeks.
All of MP3 (www.allofmp3.com): I am constantly amazed at the large numbers of people who willingly throw their credit card details at large, already exceptionally wealthy organisations like Apple and Coke. It's not that they think 70p/99USc is a fair price for a track; it's just that they're so caught up in the iPod marketing machine that they don't think to look for cheaper alternatives (and that goes for the iPod itself too).
Because MP3 vendors don't pay for artwork, packaging or distribution and have only minimal one-off costs for putting the tracks up, they don't HAVE to charge CD prices for online songs. It's just that the large music industry we have is unwilling to scale itself down. The same amount of money gets to the artist whether we pay through iTunes or a 'Russian' site; the difference is that we pay up to ten times as much with the Apple deal. Where does the money go? Not to the musicians, but to the bloated advertising machine they operate so they can launch another multi-million dollar campaign to get us to buy yet more songs on iTunes.
Personally, I prefer to use a range of cheaper but still legal alternatives and allofmp3.com heads the lot.
