quest for mp3

Spent much of yesterday looking for mp3s. I'm not too keen on the peer to peer sites since they mostly seem like a good way to open the computer up to attack. (Not to mention the whole copyright issue.) I'm still a bit on the fence about that one. In some ways I feel that it's silly to have to pay for something I've bought in many versions before, but then I've always believed in TANSTAAFL too.

Truth is that I would be happy to pay for the songs, but the little Lie-Pod G got me is a bit finicky. (not as stylish as the actual IPOD, but much more mini and thus even cuter in his own way) LPod and I had some pretty significant disagreements yesterday in our search for songs, but I've already grown quite fond of the little guy and refuse to trade him in just because he won't play nicely in the sandbox with Microsoft. (Truth be told, it's Microsoft who isn't playing nicely in the sandbox with L-Pod, but it amounts to the same thing.) Most WMA files that one can purchase are useless to me because they've been "protected" and are only playable with MS compatible devices.

Thankfully, I've found emusic which offers files from all the artists who want people to hear their music. Their collection is eclectic, but vast and features quite a few tunes that feel good in my ears.
