@tsk, please do not misunderstand me. There are far fewer CD shops than there used to be, a few years ago. Simply because it is not a lucrative business anymore. Fewer and fewer people are buying original compact discs.That's all I'm saying. Music bosses make money from licensing, brands, live shows and many more. The money's at the top. I'm discussing music shops. CD stores. For people like me that just like buying music on a CD it's getting harder to find. @ported, I do understand that many cannot afford to buy CDs, but here we are talking about someone who is willing to use his credit card to buy music legally. So it's a different equation. Please don't think I'm getting all high and mighty and anti-piratic here. I'm merely suggesting that one download music you can't buy off the shelf, that's all. If you can afford it. And it's only my opinion. | |

Cooltoad (formerly coolgoose) is also good but not on the same lines of Limewire. | |

On the topic of legality, you guys do know that most of these sites are not legal in any case. Its not a question of paying some money for it, its about paying the price determined by the record label for that particular album. If you aren't doing that, then you might as well pirate stuff  I don't advocate it, I'm just saying...Cheers! Kartik | |

Therefore you use the net to find the best rate for music - just as you would for any other product. How many of us buy regularly from ebay or Amazon when we would've had to pay more for it in our country? Even Telecom Operators buy international traffic over the net these days. They often buy traffic from Totally unknown entities on the web - if that were illegal we're talking about a few billion dollars worth of traffic being carried every month by carriers around the world. The world changes - you change with it. Or you pay more the same stuff - the choice is yours. So whats wrong with buying music similarly. To be fair I did try out DRM music when it first came out but its such a bloody pain - Microsoft and the Record Label allow you to download it just THRICE on 3 different PCs. And then you have a BURN limit. And it wont play on your iPod. If I'm paying money for it, why should I be so shackled? Imagine what would happen if such controls existed on EVERYTHING you bought - you can ONLY wear your Armani Jeans when you go into Crowne Plaza or the Hyatt or the Intercontinental. If you want to wear it to the Kempinski, you have to pay Armani all over again. This is a very sensitive topic, though. If you put shackles on your music, is life worth living?
