Cheap music??

Petmidget

I might make a tit of myself here, if a nerd comes along and says why this isnt possible. But as far as i know a mp3 is a mp3.

I was checking out some of the new features in IE7, and noticed a tab for buying music in media player. THis directs me to a bunch of US sites for legally buying music on d/l much the same as Tesco do here.

But they are in dollars and hence currently much cheaper.

An eg Justin Timberlakes latest album $9.44 (roughly £5) at walmart, £7.99 at tesco online.

You would get a slightly worse exchange rate on a credit card but it allows you to take advantage of strong pound without getting on a plane.

And I can bet bigger savings can be had if you trawl about a bit.

The Russian site, "allofmp3.com" I think, is even cheaper.

Just make sure the bit rate is 256kb or above to get decent sound quality.

Or get free music from music forums where musicians (+djs/producers etc) upload their music for everyone to listen to. A lot of it is much better than anything in the charts
