So, where do you get your music?

I have a confession to make: I haven't always been ... legal... about getting my music.

For a long time, I used LimeWire to get all of my music. I was one of the few computers able to connect to the network, and I was a downloading fiend. That is, until just over two months ago, when my mojo was broken. I came back from Christmas Break and haven't been able to connect to the network ever since. I tried several options: disconnecting and reconnecting the signal, reinstalling, even trying a new program, but to no avail.
This led me to a "Where do you get your music?" unofficial poll. I was hoping people would answer with another free network I had never heard about, but out of about 5 people, 4 of them said they were legitimate buyers.

Say whaaa?


Everyone has been buying their music all this time? Are you kidding me???

And so, after minutes of soul searching and being desperate to download new songs on my iPod, I went on a search for the best music sites to get music from at the lowest price.

Here are my findings:

iTunes:

- Pay about .99 for a song, plus the ability to rent or buy movies, TV shows, and full albums.
- PROS: everyone can download iTunes, which is also a music player, and it's easy to use.
- CONS: every once in a while, they are lacking on their music selection. I went searching for this song and it was nowhere to be found.

Rhapsody

-.99/ song, free 14 day trial
- PROS: You can log in anywhere and listen to your paid selections; the songs can also be downloaded onto any mp3.
- CONS: 12.99/month membership fee. Eek!

WalMart
-.74 - .94/ song
- PROS: Great prices, good variety
- CONS: They only have music. If I could find movies for purchase for these prices, I would be in heaven.

I ended up going with iTunes, mostly because it was so easy to use, but I have used and would recommend WalMart as well.
