    I'm looking to buy decent quality DRM-free music. Had a look at the new Amazon store this morning and it looks good, especially with current exchange rate. Some of the albums I've looked at would work out at between €5 & €6.50 for MP3's @ 256Kbps. Has anyone tried it yet?

    What other places are worth looking into that have a large catalogue (that are not Russian)?

    Exclusively pay sites?
    That might be hard as you have to pay royalties for music, so if a site is offering you an album/song for dirt cheap it proberly is because they aren't paying the required royalties for it, which would undermine your initial resons of paying for it (I presume that is your reson).The valid Russian sites in question don't pay royalties or vey little but still remain legal(just about) due to international legal loopholes.Russians....:D
