Subject: source for downloadable music?



I want to make a CD of songs for my daughter's birthday party.  Is
there a site that has a good selection of songs that will work with
Linux?  I'm willing to pay for the songs.

Yahoo has a music site but it seems to require software that they say
only works on XP (though I'm willing to try wine, if it worked).  My
vague understanding of Apple's iTunes are that they tend to produce
stuff that's locked to a specific piece of hardware; I'm not sure if
it's OS specific.

Any suggestions?

I use allofmp3.com.  Russian site (click button in top left corner for
english) and you pay based on the size of the file downloaded not per
song.  Supports various different formats too.


Not to be overly alarmist, but have you checked the card processing
section of allofmp3.com? I took a look at the section in their help
which deals with payments. They list a question along the lines of, "I
am concerned about my online security". They point you to ASSIST who
deal with their card processing. After clicking on the displayed THAWTE
certificate on the ASSIST site all I get is an invalid certificate
notice! Given the VERY low cost of their downloads and the fact that
they have an invalid THAWTE certificate, I would be extremely cautious
about using their site.

FWIW

Thanks for the heads up on this. I have been using the site for a good while without problems, and I do keep an eye on my credit card statement anyway, as well all should.

I'll keep a closer eye on it in future.

Thanks anyway.
