Online Music Shops

Civilian_Target · 2004-01-11 01:22:26

I thought it might be an idea to make a list (or possibly even a sticky) of online music shops, because that's what I came here looking for and can't find. I'm sure it would be of benefit to all. Here's my 2c in the order of goodness www.101cd.com www.play.com www.cdwow.co.uk www.amazon.co.uk

Guys and gals, any of you dealt with Road Records in Dublin lately. I ordered a CD a few weeks ago and received a confirmation email, but heard nothing since, and I emailed them, and didn't get any replies? Suppose I should ring them..

hi guys and gals, can anyone recomend a good site to buy either vinyl or casstte, cant see these formats on the sites that would buy cds off on.

to help narrow it down the vinyls for my self, new to it, would be starting off with rereleases/rare stuff/specal editions, ie the the joshua tree rerelease, or the new rolling stones back catalouge

cassette is for xmas pressie for elerdery relative, traditonal irish or country

www.cdandlp.com

www.musicstack.com

www.gemm.com

These sites are pretty good for anyone interested in buying vinyl.

i signed up to emusic last month - I had been a member before and left due to their lack of selection.

I rejoined as they offered me 75 free tracks, but their selection is still poor, having used my free tracks, there's not much else up there that I want.... they really need to get more labels to sign up. Although they market themselves as primarily an "indie" service, many of the bigger "indie" acts are actually on major labels, so aren't on emusic.

I'm looking for an iTunes alternative too, Can someone explain exactly what the restrictions are using DRM music, ie can music downloaded from Itunes be copied from the PC used to a laptop and sync'd with my other Ipod? I have only purchased a few songs from Itunes and Media centre on the same pc can't see them.

Play.com is only available to UK customers so an Irish DRM free suggestion with a large selection of regular recent tunes would be appreciated.
Thanks,

DRM is copy protection on songs that limits the amount of time you can burn the songs on to a CD and limits what MP3 players you can tranfer the songs to. HMV.co.uk, 7Digital and, from only recently, iTunes have DRM-Free songs that are available in Ireland.

Considering Kali's post was from over 5 years ago it's not surprising the site is gone. Site's disappear all the time.

If it's not protected by the dreaded DRM (Digital Rights Management - copy locks in other words), yes you can. You need to purchase music that's iTunes plus - this means it's DRM free. Anyway, just right-click on a song and select the Create MP3 version option. Hey Presto!

I think you can re-download music that you may have purchased in the past that has DRM on it in a newer DRM free condition. iTunes used to charge for this - I don't know if they still do. Excuse my haziness - it's been ages since I owned an iPod or used iTunes.

www.cd-services.com are based in Dundee and specialise in prog rock (60s/70s to present). Haven't bought anything from them recently but have been fine in the past.
