on the internet?
I have an mp3 player, and have loaded a few CD songs from my computer, but would like to buy more.
Its not an ipod so itunes won't work.
I like to be able to hear a decent preview B4 I buy too....
Thanks for any replies.

You can pay a monthly subscription of 9 or 10 bucks, and download unlimited music. The music files are in WMA (I think most are like this for security reasons), but you can buy a file converter to turn them into mp3 or whatever you want.

I mostly do iTunes, but mainly because I have an iPod so it's easiest. :)
Actually I've been uploading my own CD's and converting old LP's that were never made into CD's into digital format. What a trip down memory lane...
I'm so out of touch with anything after 1990 that I would have no idea what to buy.

You can still do iTunes, tho this can be a pain if you buy a lot of music.
When you burn iTunes songs to disc as an audio CD, it strips the copy protection from them. Then you can just import those songs back as mp3's, using whatever software your player uses -- I can't imagine it not allowing you to rip your own discs to mp3 format for the player.
Ok, I can imagine that. Just use iTunes again to rip the disc, or use another free/shareware program to rip them.

(and an PodPerson since G1)
(which used to be really cool in NYC, because we were all rather smug about having iPods and people would swap heaedphone plugs to listen to what a fellow poddie was listening to ... no more of that, now that half the peeps on the subway have them)
