Music download sites

[BrilloPad]

I am getting pressure from the older kids to download songs so they can burn their own CD. Alas they want quite a few recent songs.

I have tried downloading a few songs using torrents and free sites - but I am making very slow progress.

Does anyone know of any free (or low cost) sites where I can download most mp3 titles?

Thanks

Amazon.com does mp3 downloads

I know it will be hard for some of you to understand but on this one I have morals

Buy the tiles legally & let the artist actually get paid for his / her craft

Why download when you can walk into HMV, stick the discs in your pocket and walk out?

Spot on HJ!

Plus, it's important for kids to learn that you don't get something for nothing.

Amazon are pretty good, you get raw MP3s and no nasty software to install.

However - your kids are a bit behind the times if they want to burn their music to CDs. That's so 2005.

They are only 9. The CD is for the car. Most of the time they get stuff from youtube. Presumably in the future they will get smart phones. At the moment it looks like netbooks for their next birthday - though I am dreading the issues that will bring.

Ah. My wife got one of those little radio transmitter thingies for her iPhone to avoid this issue, but is planning to get a new car stereo... for only about £100 you can get one with MP3/iPod input and skip the inconvenience of burning CDs.

7digital which I like a lot. Though I also use Amazon.
