This thread is about where you download your music from.

I get mine from eMusic. I pay $9.99 a month, and I can download 40 songs which are DRM free. I think it is a great service, the downloads are very quick and the service is simple to use. It also has a portal system akin to last.fm, where you have neighbours based on people with similar taste to your music who reccomend music to you.
I also like it because most of the music on eMusic you won't find on iTunes, MSN Music or Napster, because it specialises in music from independant labels, the upside is that you don't pay premiums for manufactuered pop music but the downside is you probably won't find many songs from top 40 artists on the site.

What online music service do you use and why?

I don't download music off of the internet as much anymore, but when I do, I use Kazaa Lite K++ or Azureus (Bit-Torrent Client).

SoulSeek, WinMX and limewire (i downloaded limewire pro, off limewire, lol)

!!

u all should stop downloading music tbh

Why do you think we should stop downloading music?

coz downloading off Kazaa Lite K++ or Azureus (Bit-Torrent Client). is illegal ¬_¬

I have no need to use Online services for music.  I do have a habit of downloading a smaple of an album before I buy it.  If I don't like the sample I delete the sample.

In the UK it's illegal to RIP music from the CD let alone download it.  Just anothre stupid law they don't enforce but it still exists.

pfft i download my music with kceasy.

it isn't illegal to rip music its only illegal if u sell the copy

That is what I was thinking, as long as you have the album, then you are allowed to rip it, although, you aren't allowed to show the CD publically or lend it to people. You can also copy it as many times as you want, as long is it is for your own personal use... When you buy the CD, you buy the licence to that single CD.
