LEGAL PHOTO & MUSIC DOWNLOAD (A SHORT HISTORY & INFO) ---- Downloading has at last entered the mainstream. A handful of major vendors, such as iTunes and Napster, offer catalogues of more than a million tracks in all genres, while a small but growing number of labels and artists have started selling MP3s directly from their own websites. There are even many legal freebies to be had: various sites provide tracks by up-and-coming artists keen for exposure, while labels often dish out a free song to help promote an album. Below are links to a few of the major players. Things change all the time, and this list is far from exhaustive, so keep checking back to see what's happening Amazon Hundreds of free downloads in MP3 format: some from high-profile artists and others from up-and-coming talent. Perhaps Amazon is either trying to drive traffic before it starts charging, or hopes its downloads will push up CD sales. (Extracted from: (Guardian Unlimited Report - Where to download music legally?) HMV HMV's first UK download service was an off-the-shelf store from OD2 (seebelow). In September 2005, however, the company joined forces with Microsoftto launch a bells-and-whistles jukebox program with built-in music store. Aswith Napster, it's a Windows-only service that offers more than 1,000,000songs (plus exclusive content), either as "permanent" downloads (at 79p pertrack) or via unlimited access to "temporary" downloads, which keep playingfor as long as you remain a subscriber (?14.99 per month). All downloads canbe transferred to MP3 players, though not iPods. Artist Direct Another Stateside CD store that offers a few freebies, but this time they're streams rather than real downloads and hence can't be saved to your hard drive or transferred to your MP3 player. iTunes Music Store UK iTunes, produced by Apple but available for Mac and PC, is a jukebox software package (probably the best available) for organisng and playing music, ripping CDs and transferring songs to iPods. It also provides access to Apple's iTunes Music Store, the most successful download service by a vast margin. Its wide-ranging catalogue of 1.5 million tracks is available for 79p a pop; albums vary, but most cost in the region of ?8. The only downside is that the file format - DRM-protected AAC - means the music will only play back using iTunes or iPods. Virgin Like arch-rival HMV, Virgin recently closed its pre-fab OD2 store andlaunched a major UK digital music service of its own. As with Napster, itoffers protected WMA files that will play back on PCs and many MP3 players,either via a 79p pay-as-you-go option or through an unlimited monthlysubscription plan (?9.99 for computer only; ?14.99 if you want MP3-playercapabilities). Virgin's clean-looking jukebox software takes a leaf out ofiTunes' book, but iPods aren't supported. download.com Music is your source for legal and free MP3 downloads.
