Music download price comparison sites

Options
Hello

Is there anyone out there who knows of a music download price comparison tool which makes it possible to identify the cheapest site for downloading a specific track? For example, if I wished to purchase Once In A Lifetime by Talking Heads, is there a site where I could type in the track name and artist, which would confirm the prices on all sites from where I could download this track?

Many thanks in anticipation.

    Not that I know of...but I think you have hit on a very good idea!

    Probably limited number of sites it'll search. I think Google Shopping will search a couple. Also got to remember that not all tracks are available legally to download. It took ages before the Beatles back catalogue was made available for example.

    It seems completely biased towards iTunes, I could see no evidence of other sites, in the four searches I have done they have all returned iTunes - not too mention the results are useless!

    Nice idea just badly implemented

    Kelkoo has really gone downhill over tha last couple of years and seems to have lost loads of the shops it used to compare.

    Anyway probably worth checking out www.we7.com first. Very small catalogue but it's expanding all the time and the tracks are free (with temp ads).
