Amazon's MP3 store. No DRM, it's the first legitimate attempt to do digital music right. No DRM, fair prices and portable non-proprietary format. Plus it has a decent library.

If you are looking for illegal download sites it's illegal for this site to allow the answer to stay online.

You made me go and look!



It's only for US customers.


Any international ones you can recommend?

Nope, because the owners of the music copyrights are still retarded and don't allow it. Don't blame Amazon, it's the labels shooting themselves in the foot once more.

I am facing similar issues with new online movie rentals now that I'm living abroad again.

Pandora, which is great, is having to stop transmitting to the UK on the 15th of this month, because licence agreement negotiations have failed.

Damn.

Everyone outside the US should try:

http://globalpandora.com/


it's proxied access to pandora, so you appear to be US traffic

Works good from this side of the planet!

Without a doubt the best site I have found for trawling the web for free mp3s, of doubtful legality, without resorting to peer to peers like bittorrent and limewire is SKREEMR.

I've used a bunch of others but this is the best so far.

Hinge...I love you! I ADORED Pandora!!!! Then got kicked off for being Ozzian.


But...could this go-around get them into trouble? They are a great site, and I would hate to do anything that put what they are doing in jeopardy.


Anyone know if this could make trouble for them???????

Hi Bunny

You can't get them into trouble, really. But no sooner do they block access to one proxy than globalpandora will move it to another. My understanding is that the blocking is in response to some pending court case or legislation, rather than actual law.

Nonetheless I think we could argue under the Free Trade Agreement Oz has with the US this is OK (we had to change our IP laws to sign the agreement). And besides the whole digital rights thing is moving so fast away from locking up it will probably be accessible within the not too distant future.

But for the time being try downloading this cute little tool:
http://www.cfdan.com/posts/Pandoras_Box_-_The_Apostrophe_Version_.cfm

Built by and Irish guy it accesses pandora without a browser. Rather neat.

To me the real value in Pandora was the way they classify and link music (although I think focusing the musical facets rather than the emotional ones is a little disappointing it's still a damn good tool for finding/hearing stuff you've missed) - not in the fact that you hear music for free.

If you don't want to install Dan's gadget have a look at http://last.fm/ for an enormous streaming music library (which I believe amazon have just bought (beating out apple in the bidding war)).

Lord I can waffle.

if you like independent music, you could give www.clubmosh.com a try...
it's got all kinds of genres of music...i especially like Monofone and Lipgloss...OH! and Nocturnal Playground too!

Otherwise, Limewire works just fine...haha

CNET music is a good combination of free and bought music and is legal. Still not sure if it will work in India Spidey.
