Need advice about music download sites

10 replies

Moomin · 04/11/2006 11:36

I download all of my online music from iTunes and am happy with paying individually for tracks rather than having asubscription as I don't download loads of music, maybe 5-10 tracks a month if that. I want to get my hands on some Beatles stuff which iTunes don't have the right too of course. Any advice on which site(s) to use. and can i then play the track on my iTunes media player on my hard disk?

Woolworths do downloads from 79p a track

Thanks, just checked it but woolies don't sell beatles tracks online either. maybe no-ones got the rights for the downloads. i thought it was just itunes because of apple and the dispute they have with the Beatles?

I use KCeasy. Its free but dunno how good they are for rare tracks and one offs.

Try this looks like a special beatles site

Sorry to gatecrash but how does downloading work? There are individual tracks that I would like but I don't want to buy the whole album or CD single. If I download a tune, can I save it to a CD and play on a CD player because I do not own or wish to own an MP3 player.

TIA

You can download music to your computer and then burn it onto a CD. If you go to woolworths or any music sites you can download individual tracks

If you want old stuff then www.allofmp3.com is great, so cheap. Download teh alltunes software is much better than the site

SM, why not an MP3 player? mine is small and much easier to use than CDs etc.
You just.....

download KCeasy or similar software,
then think of some of your favourite songs (my policy is not to download any new music as, yes, it is killing the music industry and new CDs are great anyway),
download the songs,
then plug in your MP3 player (mine is a Creative Muvo, tiny, with 1gb memory which is enough for me-I can't fill it-and you just plug it straight into a USB port,just like a pen drive,in fact I use it to carry Word files and stuff for work too),
then click on the song you've downloaded
move it across to your 'removable disc' (ie. Mp3 player)
and....
you are ready.
I use it when I'm walking, makes me go faster! When I've overplayed a song I just change it for another one.
It's so easy...I've got my parents using them too!
