After encoding most of my CD collection, I’ll still buy a CD if I see one in a store that I want, but mostly now I just go to Amazon and download albums. The quality is usually pretty good, they’re not copy protected so I can put them anywhere I want - (but I don’t put them on a site for freeloaders - sorry, buy your own), and they’re mp3 format. I don’t do iTunes for 2 reasons, one they’re aac files which are a pain - and two - you have to download and install that crappy iTunes program. That thing is a dog. None of that nonsense with Amazon - mp3’s, all you need is a web browser - and the Artists are still duely compensated.
I often see on amazon that there are songs busted out separately that can be purchased - I think - for such as 99c and so on. OTOH, when I search for music, I often DON’T see those listings as if the song by itself was for download and sale. Is there a way to tell when doing the searches? Or do I have to click on every item to see if it’s individually downloadable?
This is primarily for our newer car, which only uses USB port so we have been using the memory sticks.
So, are you saying for my memory stick, I couldn’t just directly download from iTunes? I’d have to put some iTunes SW on my computer or such first?
