Try 7digital. I've been using it for a few months and they have a large catalog (just checked Nazareth--lots of their stuff) of higher quality (320K) DRM-free MP3's. You CAN use PayPal for purchases and they also have a digital locker where your purchases are always available for re-downloading. Very handy. Give us some feedback if you use it.

Hi and thanks for the tip.
Sounds like its exactly what I was looking for.
I did visit the site but currently looking at pc bargains online so I will post back after I take a deeper look.

Thanks again,

Rommel

Exactly what I was looking for.
If you are not using itunes, like me, it is a straight download.
No download manager or nothing, just the songs you paid for via paypal.

Thank you,

Google IT !

E.g:

Result:
http://www.micahedwards.net/Music/ABBA/ABBA%20Gold%20Greatest%20Hits/

As Rommel mentioned in post 5, he's looking for a paid service. Downloading from directory listings is typically an illegal practice.

Thanks for your suggestions guys.
I did check out amazon but they actually didn't display the songs I am looking for.
They showed the group, Nazareth, but not enough of a song list.

Has anyone ever heard of www.mp3shake.com ?

They have all the songs at .25 each. Only thing is they mention a tariff so I enquired to them exactly what that would be.
They do require a visa to deposit cash into an account. Not really what I want to do.
All songs downloaded and owned. No restrictions to burn to CD.

Not sure what online services are available to check their reputation.

If you're going to pay for the songs, I would recommend using a company that is best known for their service. Besides, ".25" a song sounds WAY too good to be true. I did a search using the Better Business Bureau and found no history or anything on the company, so I would search elsewhere.

They don't have a BBB listing either, but they also look like the real thing. Go for it.

I was just catching up on some older posts since I had not been around in a while and thought that I would add a brief comment...

A song can be burned up to 7 times I believe, I wish it was unlimited.



To my knowledge, this is no longer true. Apple went to non-copy-protected AAC files for the iTunes music purchases quite a while ago. At this time, just about all (if not all) music offered through the iTunes Store is not copy-protected. To my knowledge, this would mean you could burn it to an audio disk format as many times as you want (per copyright law, any such burned copies are still only supposed to be for your own personal use)...and it means that you can convert purchased AAC songs into MP3 format if you want.

Your welcome, anytime. :) :)

By the way, if by chance you download iTunes so you can access their iTunes store to get a better idea of what it's about, I would suggest you go to FileHippo and download the last 9.xx version instead of the new 10. version from Apples web site. The 9.xx will show the Album Cover Art on your iTunes Library UI; version 10, at least for now, doesn't show the cover art. They're also pushing their social networking service called Ping on version 10.


I am not sure what you mean by this. iTunes 10 shows album cover art...and to my knowledge, it has since version 10.0.0. It just depends on which view type and potential which sort option you choose.

Hi,

I have been searching for an online store to download MP3s.

All I'm seeing is a monthly charge or wanting a credit card.
I'd rather download without a monthly fee and have the option to use pay-pal.

I do not own an Ipod.

Does anyone know a reputable online store like this?

Please don't recommend lime-wire.

Thanks,
Rommel
