There are quite a few places now to buy your digital music from. Itunes is probably one of the busiest and provides a great service. I’ve had to contact customer service a couple of times with problems and in both cases I’ve been refunded immediately, no questions asked. They are good, however they are expensive.

It seems a lot of people missed the fact that Amazon now offer an MP3 download store. And it’s cheap. Take U2’s No Line on the Horizon album, released just a few weeks ago. Itunes are selling it at their standard £7.99. Amazon MP3 have it at £4.50. Add to this that your music is DRM free in MP3 format and it’s a pretty attractive option. MP3 format means you can use it on all music players, not just Apple Ipods and it can be managed in any music software. Not all new albums are discounted this much but it’s definitely worth a look. Who would ever have thought that a new U2 album could be legally purchased for just £4.50? Good on Amazon.
