It pains me to say it, but iTunes probably has the largest selection. I also have been finding a lot more music on Amazon for the same price without any of the Apple proprietary baggage. I prefer to buy my music piecemeal, so I don't know how good of a selection the monthly subscriber sites have nowadays.

Because I believe once I pay for the music, I should be able to play it on any dag-nabbed device that I want to, I burn all my iTunes music to an audio CD and rip that to MP3. That lets me put the music on my main Creative Labs player, the little one I use for the gym, my Car GPS, my computer, etc. Pain in the ass to do initially, but I can then  listen to my iTunes music on any of my devices, not just the limited number Apple allows me.

I don't use any of the download sites.
But what songs are you looking for. If I have them maybe I can send them to you to borrow for the day. I just won't listen to them until you let me know she is done with the project.

My three favorites are itunes, amazon, and emusic.  Between these three, yo can find a lot of variety.

Thanks, when I told her there was $ involved she said "Forget it."  :laugh:

She has to do a thing on Australia for a volunteer event so she wanted Duran Duran and Little River Band music. No biggie
