Many people buy their digital music from Apple’s iTunes Music store but, they sell their music with DRM (Digital Rights Management) for the regular $0.99/Song, these tracks have limitations on how many devices you can put your music on. Recently, Apple added an option for you to buy music for an extra dollar and you can unlock your music from their DRM and get freedom with your tracks! Apple has done a great job to make a one stop shop where you can play, manage, sync and buy music all from one application, and in that same application you can buy TV shows, download, watch and subscribe to podcasts, and buy or rent movies! Apple has made the Internet generation and even some of the older generations dependant on their software which in my opinion is slow and bulky and this is coming froma major Apple fanboy! I do not buy my music through iTunes because of the limitations and the rediculously slow application. The best music store is Amazon’s amazing Mp3 store that is similar to iTunes’ however, all the tracks are DRM free and the starting price is only $0.88/song! It does not have a required application to buy your tunes which let’s you free up your computer but if you want an application, you can download a free download manager from Amazon, you can go online to their store and the homepage has all the tops songs and some bargain deals just like iTunes! You pay for the tracks with a credit card and they download to your pc and you can even add it to your iTunes library! By doing this you will save $1 per song on DRM free tracks and you can put those tracks anywhere and as many places as you want and even on your iPod! Do yourself a favor and at least download your songs from Amazon and put them in iTunes and use them as you would but with Amazon you will have freedom with your music!
