Any recommendations for decent sites (legal (and paying) please) where I
can download music from? The only "restriction" on the replies, is that
I want music that isn't protected (like iTunes for example), so I can
play it on multiple sources.

Cheers for that. Are you sure leaving your CC with a Russian site is
safe?

Yes I thinks so, but what a load of grief. I'd rather download it as an
MP3 straight away.

This was my gripe.

Well, IIRC you can buy content from iTunes unprotected (for a price.)
However since, IMO, nothing really meets *my* needs as well as an iPod
this isn't an issue for me. Should I wish to move onto a non-apple
device in the future I may well have a problem but tbh I see no real
reason why I'd move.

Been fine this past year or so.
You can argue about the legalities of it though. Seems to be ok by Ruskie
standards, not by USA standards.

Ah, the straight CC option works for me but not others. I have no idea why.

Before allofmp3/alltunes came along I had never bought music online. I just
checked, over 12GB now downloaded. One would have thought by now the music
industry would have caught on.

Even if they charge me more, say £1.50 rather than $1.50 per download, but
give me the same library and flexibility I will buy buy buy. It's a mass
market failure, as sometimes happens when too few people control the game.

No - and following the link to the chronopay site only shows links to sign up
for a merchant account.

It used to work for me - I've probably downloaded almost as much as you have.

They did - that was when they stopped accepting Visa/Mastercard.

Agreed - the prices on alltunes are very acceptable ;^)

Unfortunately there appears to be no CC payment option.

Apple could learn a thing or two by trying out their app. Superb,
QUICK interface. Then again compared to Itunes pretty much anything
seems quick.

I see Hog has recommended alltunes.com and you can't put any dosh onto
it - no surprise there, then.

I've been using goldenmp3.ru recently where you pay them through Paypal
and it seems pretty good so far.

I emailed chronpay techsupport, and they helpfully said no, alltunes
does not accept cc payments (how do they survive?)
But recommended http://www.gomusic.ru
which looks like it works, and accepts cc payments in a variety of
forms - although the pricing is a bit vague (c.u. Which I assume means
commercial/currency units?) But works out at about £1 per c.u. And
albums look to be around 2 c.u. each
