-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 That seems to be the problem with purchasing music online. I don't want to use iTunes, because I want the music in a standard format and non-DRM. But I don't want to purchase a CD in the store because most of the time I don't need the whole CD, just a song or two. But, when I used musicmatch, it seemed to be very fair and would allow you to use the song however you wanted to. Although I haven't used musicmatch in over 4 years. If you want nice music at low prices, you should check out the BMG music service (www.bmgmusic.com). I can get great deals on CDs.
