Walmart sells songs for 88 cents each.

I've been using www.buymusic.com Songs are about a buck apiece. Whole
albums are about ten-twelve bucks. You get "wma" files which are like mp3s,
but have a tracking feature that gives you permission to move them between
computers, CDs you burn, and portable devices a limited number of times,
which can vary between 1 to 5 times depending on something, not sure what.
Hasn't been an issue yet. Completely legal, fast and reliable, compared to
Kazaa Lite.

To get around the wma permission hassles, the buymusic.com files can be
burned to a CD, then ripped back to unrestricted mp3s, but that is kind of a
hassle.

I've tried Apple's Itunes but its file format does not play on my portable
mp3 player. I also have a gift card from the new legal Napster site that I
haven't tried yet. My teenager says it's good too. He's my in-house
authority on all things mp3.
