What do you use to download your music? Do you only purchase using iTunes? Coz I have seen a lot of great music purchasing sites out there like Bandcamp and Amazon.
I always try to go with the one that offers me the choice between 320kbps and FLAC versions of what i am buying. Most of the times i just go to the band's website and they have it there to buy like that. I don't like itunes for how the whole service works and the quality of the music there.
I usually get iTunes gift cards as gifts so therefore I don't feel like spending money anywhere else so I just buy from iTunes pretty much all the time. I don't the very best so therefore having the okay version is always okay with me.
I use mp3 rocket it's free and fast I never tried iTunes or band camp before I like to use the free ones
I usually download music at 4shared or mp3skull, but sometimes I just directly click the links that Google's search results show me.
Between Hypem and my mad Googling skills I haven't bought an mp3 in ... ever. I have never bought an mp3 and I don't ever intend to. What would be the point of throwing away money like that?
iTunes mostly or Amazon. But mostly I checked artist profiles from social networks or their official sites and just buy it from there. Most artist use iTunes anyway.
