    Good online music services

    Having just paid for an obscure track that I need for a funeral of a close family member to find that not only do I need a very obscure codec to run it, but the track will not run on other hardware including my stereo due to stupid license restrictions, I'm looking for a good music download software.

    The only requirements are that they have a large librabry, use a standard format such as MP3 and you can burn the tracks to a CD for use anywhere.

    Any suggestions? At a push I could search file sharing servers but the hassle, crap results and often poor quality means I'd far prefer to pay the buck or so and get a legit copy.

    The really stupid thing is that the service I tried charge the same to download an album as it costs to buy one. Not only would I have a physical product but I'd have few if any limitations on use if I bought one so why introduce this license and codec crap in the first place?

    All suggestions for good downloadable, legal, music sources are welcome.

    A bump because someone here must download software legally and to correct the typo in the first post: 'download software' should say 'download site'

        Thanks - I'll give them a try. The cost isn't so much an issue - I simply need someone with a BIG catalogue to download and available in MP3 format so I can burn it and play it on any machine I want including MP3 players.
