The Great "Cheapest Legal Music Downloads" Hunt.

I use Bearshare.com....

Is it Legal ???

My team of experts are working on it right now !

Over my 40 year music buying period , I've paid out £1000's for the same titles on different formats ( LP / Cassette / CD ) and as I'm only replacing back catalogue stuff , I'll stick with Bearshare - I think the taxman & music industry have had their fair share out of me

In an attempt to get back on topic........

I have noticed that 24studio.co.uk have added a music download section to their sites and are currently selling singles at 50p per download. Not sure how long this promotion will last so if I were you I would be quick (normal price is 79p, I think)

Tip. If you are buying an album, check how many tracks there are, it may be cheaper to download the tracks singly.:cool:

absolutely legal, quite cheap

hm, I don't have anything against Russian sites, not everyone is possible to pay full cost for every song. Also on another hand bands should also get their money...

As a musician myself I recently spent some time trying to find out how to buy legit music (or access free downloads), but on a Mac and not with DRM! I know some of these sites don't perhaps offer the 'cheapest' music, but for my needs they are the most convenient when it comes to putting it on my computer & portable media player. Here are a few sites that I like...


For classical music:

http://www.chandos.net/
http://www.eclassical.com/

For other styles (mostly independent):

http://www.garageband.com/ (many free downloads)
http://magnatune.com/
http://www.zunior.com/
http://www.mindawn.com/

I've used Chandos and it's great, and I love Garageband for finding interesting new music. The others I'm yet to fully investigate. I think it's a great thing to support independent music, although I do occasionally buy from iTunes when I want something specific/mainstream. I haven't been able to find much else out there for Mac users who just want to buy individual mainstream tracks unfortunately.

Hope this is of help

Can anyone recommend a good service for latin/jazz music? I have no interest whatsoever in chart music.
