LEGAL Music Downloads
For LEGAL downloadable music, DJ Madman Mike uses and recommends Napster.
Usually, you can listen to whole songs or any parts of them before downloading.
Choose to buy songs OR get as many basic downloads as you want, no per song charges!
Over 5 MILLION music tracks and 130,000+ artists. For details, click Napster.
Napster is ideal for Windows type PCs, most MP3 players and portable music players.
iTunes is another good choice but charges 99¢ for every download.
Currently Available Music CDs
Current "in print" music CDs, Imports. These two were chosen because when used in tandem, their selection of available music is huge.
In Mike's opinion, Amazon.com is the best "overall" music site on the internet, plus it is now selling used CDs. Excellent search feature and a large amount of song samples for checking to make sure it's the right song,
version of song or correct group - VERY important. Collectors' Choice has oldies and indie artists
in many music styles that Amazon might not have.
Here are some samples of Amazon's music categories and selections.
Dance & DJ . New and Future Releases . Rap & Hip-Hop . Rock . Alternative . Country Soundtracks .
Jazz . International . New Age . Opera & Vocal . Classical: Instrumental
Halloween . Christmas / Holidays
Collectors' Choice Music

the entire history of 20th century popular music in every genre, from every decade. Looking for a site that caters to your favorite artist or style
no matter how obscure or neglected?"

Sometimes, I have to check multiple places to find what I'm looking for."

eBay
