Where do you tech savvy music lovers get your MP3s?

I have several telescopes, but none are semi-APO, APO, or in anyway valuable.

I hadn't bought any MP3's until a few months ago. Had an attitude about it. Haven't pirated any either. Mainly ripped my own CD's and dubbed old vinyl then ran declick/denoise software on it.

It seems like the best old vinyl albums from the good old days got loaned to friends and never returned, so I bought a few oldie-moldy albums MP3 from Amazon. The Amazon audition/buy mechanism was painless and the Amazon downloader works great in the background after you buy, and the price didn't seem bad to me.

I also have an attitude about apple store, and won't buy ANYTHING copy protected. Supposedly apple has started removing copy protection from some of their stuff, but its just a long love-hate relationship with apple. I mean, Amazon ain't my friend either, or my enemy, but I've got enough long-held grudges against apple that I won't buy ANYTHING from them unless they are the only source.

Primarily I ripped my own CD's and put them into iTunes to manage them. Once in a blue moon I'll purchase music from iTunes and I've gotten a couple from Amazon too.

Do a search on Google for a FREE app. named Googlehacks. Use it to search Google for what your looking for. It works fairly well. wink
