Site to buy music
« on: April 28, 2011, 04:13:22 PM »
I'm tired of getting raped by iTunes.  I found this:  http://tunespro.com/index.php

Do you guys use anything else?

Shit.  Who knew?  I never knew Amazon sold music like this... or Walmart.  But it looks like Amazon's prices are better.

I still wonder about sites like the one in my first post.  I've used sites like that in the past but they all seem to disappear from time to time.  The one that I used was great because you could pick the quality of the music too.

This may be me being in dumb mode, but isn't all iTunes music DRM free these days?

OK, am I an idiot?  How does Amazon's MP3 downloader work?

rant: If I buy an entire fucking soundtrack, why does every song have to have '[soundtrack version]' in the title.  WHO GIVES A SHIT?  GAH!

not sure how it works, but if you have a mac there's no downloader and you have to manually click a link for every mp3 in the album you just bought and wait for it to download and then repeat for each link.  :(

that said, walmart wanted $1.24 for Martin Solveig & Dragonette's "Hello" and I got it for like $0.69 on Amazon!

huh, its never prompted me to download it before. it's always just presented me with all the links and told me to download them manually.

until today, it asked if I wanted to store the mp3 in my cloud. so I opened an amazon cloud player account.  5GB Free storage to stream from? why not!  I also upload the 1GB of songs already on my work lap top that I've bought over the last year.   No more using iTune at work!

you didn't get 20 gb free?

i like amazon cause they're always giving away $2-3 to use up and they have a ton of free music
