Where do you download your music from?
Well, I bought a new laptop and will start downloading music for my Ipod… Although I don’t know where from.

iTunes, sometimes Amazon. I pay for my music.
iTunes and amazon for buying, spotify is good for streaming. Not really much choice for legal downloads.

Amazon and sometimes iTunes. Also I have a couple of hundred CDs and I ripped them all to MP3s.

If you don’t want to pay for music but still want to download legally and are willing to experiment then net labels are a good place to look.
[mod says] Please don’t promote illegal activities on Fluther.
Actually, downloading music from the sources mentioned in the moderated responses is perfectly legal in Canada. But I take your point.

Skews indie rock, but everything downloadable there is legal and free.
Jamendo and others of these for new music; ibiblio and archive.org for older stuff (have to be careful on the latter as not everything there is public-domain or freely distributable.)
And I’ll be checking out some of those net labels from now on, thanks to @Lightlyseared.
Itunes, Amazon, and Zune Marketplace predominantly.
I do download things illegally sometimes.
But if it’s one of my favorite bands, I buy the music from iTunes.
If I download, it’s likely I won’t pay for it. Some of it is distributed for free by the artists themselves, some of it is not. Mod me if you want, I’m not familiar with the protocol on things like this.
If I’m going to buy something I usually try and buy direct from the artist if possible or get a hard copy CD if not. That way I feel my money is actually going to the artist as opposed to the label or distributor.
legalsounds.com has all the music I like, at about a dollar an album or 9 cents a song.
Supposedly it is legal. It works with Itunes.
