Magnatune: try before you buy MP3 music.

I know I’ve mentioned this before. I also know I sound like I’m a paid advertisement for it or something, but try Magnatune. I know some of you are a bit more discerning in your musical tastes than I am, but I’ve really enjoyed all of the music I’ve downloaded there, and I’m really supportive of the idea of a record label that’s not a part of the “Evil” RIAA.

I’ve gotten into a few discussions on DeadJournal and the Experts Exchange Lounge regarding musical piracy, and it’s not something I support, in general. I also don’t support the RIAA, because I think the draconian methods they use to try to enforce copyright laws is only going to end up hurting the industry. So, I’m trying to support Magnatune, and so far, I’ve not been disappointed by any of the albums I’ve purchased. I would prefer to have a country music genre available, but the instrumentals and the little bit of rock that I’ve downloaded has all been of high quality.

Check it out, and if you find an artist you really enjoy, let me know so I can check them out.
