Hey guys. Hope all is well.
Ok, silly question. I signed up to Yahoo Music the other night, but everytime I clicked on 'Buy' beside a track name, it took me to another website and asked me if I wanted to 'buy' the single..you know, buy it and have it delivered for like £4.99. Is it just me...or is this odd? I thought YM was a download service that you paid for...like Napster? Is this not the case?
If so, great, but how the hell do you download a track?
Can anyone suggest and good download services where you can download a track instantly (similarly to the way you can with Napster) but not Napster, Beatport or anything like that. I'm looking for a site that offers access to all the latest music, chart releases, commercial stuff, cheesy, dancy, oldies, etc...a bit like the HMV Digital service.
Cheers...and keep spinnin'...(",)

Hmmm...allofmp3.com is just about as bad as Limewire. While the fact that tracks are like 3 pence is wonderful, I don't think it's legal to download and use them in the UK. This site has been covered in the boards before now, and something to do with Russian Law (it's actually a russian site) says it's ok to get a whole album for like one pound, but pretty much every other country in the world doesn't agree with this.
I'll check out the others. Ta

Are you saying it's now legal for us (those in the UK anyway) to use this service - downloading tunes for like pennies a time?
Did allofmp3.com go through the same kind of thing that Napster/Kazaa did?

Hmmm. Strange. I've just found this on the AllofMp3.com site:
"Is it legal to download music from AllOFMP3.com?

Well, AllofMP3.com doesn't seem to be accepting payments just now via credit card, so I guess that's a no go area. I also tried Napster, which is ok I suppose, although I was having problems using it through VDJ, so that's no use. Yahoo music doesn't seem to let me download any music. HMV Digital was just complete garbage (which I was quite surprised at) and so, after more searching of good download sites, I found a relatively easy to use site...at...believe it or not...WOOLWORTHS!!! (might mean a bit more to uk readers)
Anyway, digital tracks range from £0.59 to £0.89 i think. Digital Albums, of which there is a good selection, start at £5.99. Well, this is the lowest I've seen yet.
Clicking on this link will take you to the woolworths music catalogue. You can order cd's for delivery to your house or download them straight from the site. It's very easy to use and registration and stuff only takes 2 minutes or something.
Please note that this site has loads of chart stuff and is more like HMV.co.uk than Beatport or something like that, so it may be better for those DJ's who do mobile work/parties etc as opposed to clubwork. However, in saying that, I'm sure there's something for everyone.
I'm sure you'll agree it's very simple...and pretty good.
