Where to buy music online for download?

[Cayman911]

This looks interesting. The sample clips are only encoded at 64kb/s. Are the purchased versions encoded at a higher rate?

Also, how the hell do you sign up for an account?

all the music is high quality 320kbps. i love it. they dont compramise the quality at all for size. so you may have to download a song at even 12mb. very good.

and very good question. hmm... let me have a look i made an account years ago

i have no idea aye... :S what the hell..... there is no register button.

i would send an email to support@mp3fund.com they are rather quick to respond.
definitely a good site though, once you are in.

iTunes is out. iTunes sells you music in their copyprotected format, and you can't convert that to mp3 - and I'm not replacing all my devices just to use iTunes.


?

Not true itunes can convert to mp3 i do it all the time,

or you could try digirama

You mean you steal all your music and movies that you want.

Could you clarify that for me. I understand iTunes could convert to MP3 - but it will ont convert copy protected music that you buy from iTunes. So are you saying you can buy a track from iTunes, and then convert it to MP3?

Digirama. Good idea. I haven't looked at them for ages.

Just so you know... for each track you pay to download from iTunes, the artist gets 9 cents US. If you download the whole album illegally and send them US $2 they will be making almost double.

I thought it was 7 cents, but regardless, they are being rewarded for their work. I assume an artist can choose to go independent, do their own marketing, and get a higher cut from iTunes?

On the flip side, the artist gets a zero cut from stolen music - because stolen means you didn't pay.
I have never heard of someone sending the original artist $2 because instead of stealing a couple of tracks they stole the whole album. And what about the composer of the song, the guy on the mixing desk, and everyone else that contributed to the making of the song? Do they just get left out in the cold, or are you thinking everyone should send them money everytime they steal the songs as well?

Anyone know of a similar site for HD movies? I´d be quite happy to pay for quality and speed of downloads.

Then they should have thought of a better career choice. If I started sitting on the side of a road playing guitar all day long trying to earn money, then I started complaining on KB that I'm not earning much money then I would get no sympathy.

More tv series than movies. But my friends all love www.megavideo.com

Sure, potential musicians could potentially make career decisions about how much people are going to steal from them - but come one - that's hardly reasonable.

Of course you'll also have to consider the flip side. If every potential muscian decides not to enter their "trade" because of the level of theft then eventually there will be no good music to steal.

If you were playing guitar on the side of the road and earned nothing that's touch luck. If you were playing guitar on the side of the road and people kept taking your money - now that's a different story, and you would be bitching and complaining about it (and rightly so!).
