Good Site to Buy MP3's from?

[85 Cutlass Brougham]

I am curious as to where to buy MP3 files that do not include all the DRM bullshit that Apple insists on using. I wanted to just buy one damn song tonight (Mayonnaise by The Smashing Pumpkins- I like their stuff when I am depressed), but didn't like the terms of service from Apple, so I decided to try a backdoor approach instead and just buy it elsewhere and import it into iTunes like I do with regular CD's and MP3 files I use with Windows Media Player. I like my $3.25 iPod Nano, and I even don't mind the iTunes software, but I refuse to be told how I can use a song that I just paid for. DRM sucks!

Yea well Apple says the same thing... I own the song, if you want it you play by my rules. Call Bush to make a law. He likes to meddle in our private lives.

Bush has nothing to do with Apple. Now if you want meddling, you are about to see more meddling than ever before with Obama. Kiss the Constitution good bye.

That's the best CD that SP has ever put out... its worth the $12.99 IMO.

BTW, Hey Steve, this one's for you:

An American TAXPAYER voting for a DEMOCRAT is like a CHICKEN voting for Col. Sanders.

Sorry, Bush already through out the Constitution.

So doesn't it kinda make you go "Hmmm" when the right opposes something called the FAIRNESS doctrine?

The Obama Gestapo could come knocking on my door very soon, (In which case they can just HAVE my $30 Sandisk MP3 player) but I've never spent one dime for an MP3 and have downloaded plenty of them. Just about all of them have been 20+ year old classic rock songs, and IMHO the artists, producers, and recording companies no longer need royalties on music that old. 8) Who even knows where that money goes? For instance Michael Jackson "owns" a lot of the Beatles songs. What the F&^# does he deserve any money for with music that he did not even write, produce, or perform?

LoL.. good point UT. Lars from Metallica turned off legions of loyal fans when he decried the sins of Napster. I wonder how many millions that has cost him. Now he sings a different tune to file sharing.

I don't even mind paying for an MP3 every now and then. I just don't want dictatorial software telling me when and where I can use it. The thing I LOVED about the iTunes TOS agreement was that the first line said that you agreed not to play the music outside of the geographic area you are licensed to use it in. So let me get this straight: If I board a plane to London and want to use the music I paid for when I get there I am breaking the TOS?

Oh, and I would buy the whole CD of Siamese Dream, but I already have almost all of the songs I like from it already.

One last thing though: NOT EVERY THREAD NEEDS POLITICAL BULLSHIT INTERJECTED INTO IT!!! I'm too depressed right now to deal with politics, and just wanted to ask a simple question.
