Music download question

[fencesitter]

So, it took me awhile, but what's a good site for downloading tunes legally, where you can just pay per song and don't have to sign up and pay a monthly membership fee? One with a good library?

1. iTunes music library I believe

2. iTunes

Although I think $0.99 per song is a bit high. I think there should be an option to download an entire album at a reduced rate. (If there is such a feature, I missed it.)

7. You can

but only for some albums... like 9.99 for 11 or 12 songs or 14.99 for 16 songs..something like that... and it isn't listed for every album..

8. Ah, ok...I must be selecting the wrong albums.

Thanks for the info.

3. iTunes works good for me

4. Okay, I'll try itunes, thanks and...

another question: If your CD player in the car or home doesn't play MP3 files, can you still play burned cd's? Can you convert MP3 files to regular audio files?

5. I believe theres a way to that with MP3 files

Try dBpowerAMP Music Converter or CDex, I think that could help you. If not, sorry, thats what I use to convert wav to MP3 and the other to convert CD files to MP3 but maybe they have some other use.

6. yes, but therein lies the suckiness of iTunes

With iTunes you DON'T download mp3s when you buy music. What you get are m4p files, which is iTunes proprietary version of the acc format. They will only play on iTunes or an iPod. The only way to play them in a regular CD player is to burn an audio disk from iTunes (which you can then rip back to get regular mp3s).

For regular mp3 files, I know Nero-Burning Rom will convert mp3s and burn them on audio cds, and I assume other burning software does it as well.

9. That's what I thought...

itunes was made for ipod, I didn't think they offered standard downloads. How about Napster ll? But I think a membership fee is involved?

10. From a previous post about downloading to iTunes

Open iTunes and choose "Advanced" in the menu bar
Select one (or more ) songs in iTunes and choose "Convert Selection to MP3"
or just pull the song(s) you want to the desktop where a copy will be made as an mp3. You can burn the copies onto a CD an play them in any CD player.
Apple Rules!!

I don't own an iPod but they are cute and I love iTunes, just use it!
