Does anyone download music from a site that they are generally happy with? I have a new MP3 player and want to begin but have no idea who or what company to try. I tried Napster last spring but didn't find it too user friendly. Then again, it could have been just me.

I like Limewire, but then again....it's illegal if you get caught.

I know a lot of legal downloaders enjoy the iTunes site.

I'm an iPod user so I use iTunes. I love it because you have several ways to buy the music. Like Maris pointed out, there are gift certificates. You can use a credit card. And, you can buy iTunes gift cards in many retail stores. Of all the legal download sites, they seem to have the largest selection.

The main thing to remember when purchasing and downloading music? Backup. Always, ALWAYS, back up your downloaded music (two backups if possible.) You never know when you'll have a computer crash.

I use iTunes, too, since I have a (pink!) iPod mini. But I've used MSN Music -- to download the Rockstar: INXS performers' songs -- and RealPlayer. I think, of the latter two, I liked MSN Music better. It was a pain, though, to get the music from MSN onto my iPod!

If you have a standard MP3 player, I'd go with MSN Music. It's really easy to use, and it's easy to browse song selections.

I've been using Wal-mart's music site for downloading. Songs are $.88 each.
Of course, I download and burn mine to CD, so I'm not sure about the file type or compatibility with your MP3 player.

Back in my illegal downloading days, I was using Kazaa. But that was a long time ago, I don't know how they are now.
