19 Jun 2007 9:52am GMT grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Just tried my canonical test track at 7digital, Nina Simone's Feelin' Good, and there it was! No account signup required, one track at a time, takes a debit card. So I bought it. And it's only available in bloody bloody encrypted bloody Windows bloody Media format! And you don't find that out until after you've bloody paid! Now that I *know* this, I can see the tiny "WMA" logo on the album page, but I didn't know that before. Look for a big rant soon on this point. Grr.

19 Jun 2007 9:52am GMT Might I also recommend eMusic (http://www.emusic.com/) to you? All MP3s, nothing DRM to be found, anywhere. Monthly fee system, you get around 40 songs a month for around US$15. There's even a client in the Ubuntu repos, I believe, to use their 'batch download' system. On top of it all, once you've purchased a song, it's YOURS. As in, if you accidently delete a file at some point, you can go back and download it again without using your credits.
