speaking of hot dogs, I saw "ballpark hot dog" flavoured chips today. - Reagen May 24, 17:56 7

Can you guys give me any music download sites that can be used by an iPod owner? - the liioulu with 90, in May, in Chicago May 24, 17:52 11

  - That's changed quite a bit with Sony most notably coming on board -- nm - JD May 24, 18:38
- Any site that lets you download mp3s. You import them into iTunes then synch them to your iPod. -- nm - TWuG May 24, 17:57 8
  - She wants some specifics. Basically she's brand new to this and knows nothing about downloading MP3s. -- nm - the liioulu with 90, in May, in Chicago May 24, 17:59 7
    - The two main legit sources are iTunes and Amazon. LaLa allows downloads, too. - TWuG May 24, 18:04 6
      - Free if they are legit, but mostly cheaper than iTunes if there is such a thing. I alrady suggested eMusic, but wondering what else there was. - the liioulu with 90, in May, in Chicago May 24, 18:07 5
        
        Free and legit generally don't go together. Prices are pretty consistent as they are set (mostly) by the rights holders. - TWuG May 24, 18:11
        
        Amazon's MP3 stores is usually cheaper than ITunes. (and the Amazon MP3 downloader will auto-import the songs it downloads into ITunes for you) -- nm - ty97 May 24, 18:10 3
        
        Amazon also has 100 albums for $5 each month (some are good too!). Watch for STers to post random Amazon album deals too -- (link) - ty97 May 24, 18:14
        
        Amazon, BTW, is much more user friendly. I'd pay more to use them over the iTunes store. -- nm - TWuG May 24, 18:12 1
        
        Okay, thanks all. I sent her the info. -- nm - the liioulu with 90, in May, in Chicago May 24, 18:13
