MP3 Music
I am dematerializing all my music (I’m not sure if that term applies only to stocks and bonds or also to music); that is to say that I want to transfer all my CDs and all the music that I have on my computer to my iPod. That way I have absolutely all my music is one place and immediately accessible. Simple enough till there but then I also have loads of audio cassettes (yes I still have all the ones that I have been collecting since my first Beatles tape that I bought at age 12); so how do I demat them; or digitize them or whatever? So I went on a quest to find cheap MP3 downloads from around the net to replace all of the stuff on cassette with digital music for my iPod.
Now I know that I will get pretty much any music that I want for free over sites such as Limewire etc., however I wanted to do the right thing and actually buy the music making sure that the artists that I love so much get the royalty which is their due.
IMHO, the 99 cents that iTunes charges per song is very steep especially considering that I already bought the music before (albeit on cassettes). Now this site I found to be very reasonable, all the old albums that I want are available here for a dollar or two or for 15 cents per song. I checked, this site claims to be fully legal and all royalties due are paid by the site. So I wanted Dark side of the Moon, the Pink Floyd album which is available here for just $1.08! I checked out a lot of other albums that I have only got on cassette right now: Jethro Tull’s Heavy horses, Sting’s Nothing like the sun, The Beatles’ SGt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, and they were all there! I cannot wait to start downloading, just for one hitch: there is no PayPal option offered here, so I need to use my credit card.
Amazon sells you the songs for $ .79 each, so you may want to take a look at what is available here; some of it is free too! As for wanting to hear songs for free, check out the MP3 site here.
Happy listening and happy downloading all!
Yup, it is a tricky situation about mp3s, it sucks rebuying songs that were already purchased.

I have been using Amazon and really think their prices are fantastic. A full album for £3 is unbelievable
