I gave a class presentation on this a couple weeks ago. I actually made the page in class because the group presenting before us had a web page so I figured we should make one too. The whole process took about fifteen minutes on Jottit, and the prof. loved it. I'm now a huge Jottit fan.

They forgot the most obvious one: your local CD or record store. Sure, Tower Records is gone and Borders and Best Buy have crappy selections, but if you live in a college town or a big city chances are you'll be able to find a good place. I never buy music online anymore.

Oh, and if you're worried about buying from the RIAA, just look on the back of the CD. It will almost always give the name of the record label.

The iTunes Store (I'm biased).

I can't justify paying money for a worse user experience, less selection of music, and lower quality music. http://www.waffles.fm for the win.

You can't download music, only listen to it, but check out http://www.songza.com for a nice interface.

That's pretty good. http://www.deezer.com/ is another similar on demand song service.

Heh... they're streaming music from YouTube videos. It sounds like crap unfortunately.

check out www.amiestreet.com, a lot of the tracks there are affordable, or even free.

Huge repository of midi files that has been extended to include a variety of live recordings. Quasi-free (like 5 files per month), and a $25/yr subscription gives access to pretty much everything. No advertisements at all (not counting self-promotion).

eMusic, of course. It rules. Cheap and all the best current bands (if your favorite band is not included, perhaps it's time to re-assess your taste in music).

In Canada, on p2p networks (excepting bittorrent), free with the purchase of blank audio media.
