Where to purchase mp3 songs




















A handful of major vendors, such as iTunes and Napster, offer catalogues of more than a million tracks in all genres, while a small but growing number of labels and artists have started selling MP3s directly from their own websites. There are even many legal freebies to be had: various sites provide tracks by up-and-coming artists keen for exposure, while labels often dish out a free song to help promote an album.

Below are links to a few of the major players. Things change all the time, and this list is far from exhaustive, so keep checking back to see what's happening.

Licensed retailers and other suppliers. Amazon Hundreds of free downloads in MP3 format: some from high-profile artists and others from up-and-coming talent. Perhaps Amazon is either trying to drive traffic before it starts charging, or hopes its downloads will push up CD sales.

Artist Direct Another Stateside CD store that offers a few freebies, but this time they're streams rather than real downloads and hence can't be saved to your hard drive or transferred to your MP3 player. The files are available as high-bitrate, unprotected MP3s and also in the open-source Ogg Vorbis format so will work with all computers and players.

Neither Macs nor iPods supported. Connect Sony's pay-per-track service features music from all the major labels and many indies, but compatibility is an issue. Tracks are downloaded in Sony's own ATRAC3 format, which will only play back in Sony MP3 players or the same company's SonicStage jukebox software which you have to install before you start to download. The site also has a good selection of bit and bit FLAC that aren't subject to the price hikes of some competitive vendors. Bandcamp's main competition in the indie space, CD Baby offers musicians and music fans a place where they can buy and sell their music.

Not as browse-friendly as Bandcamp due to the lack of label involvement and "name" bands , but it's a boon to truly independent artists. Murfie is a virtual music store that stores, sells and rips second-hand CDs, in addition to some new discs.
