I download music illegally via bit torrent, but it's not great for obscure stuff sometimes. What's a good site to download music legally? I wouldn't consider Itunes cos I don't have an Ipod and don't like their stuff. Any ideas?

What's the problem with itunes? As far as legal online downloads, they definitely have the widest selection.

The best site (legal) that I've found is eMusic... it is a subscription site - although quite cheap with a number of payment options - and has way more non-mainstream selections than iTunes could ever dream of...although I do use iTunes on occasion...

Why download when you can encode? My Zen MP3 player plugs into a head phone jack, and it lets me encode any sound that comes through the head phone jack, and all I have to do is hit �encode� while the music is playing and it�ll transform it to an MP3 format. I think most of the songs I have in it now I got from music videos that I liked off of Youtube.

A good place to download music legally is Russia becuase they have different cyber laws there.

Is melon still around? They created it to compete with I-tunes in Korea -- you know how Koreans are about losing control. It costs half as much, but I'm not sure if you can get any obscure stuff.

Fairly clever, but youtube doesn't have a lot of rare stuff. Also, the quality won't be that good. (It might sound fine if you don't know better, but if you hear it side by side with a CD quality track you'll be surprised at the difference.)
