[BC] Downloading music

[Kevin Trueblood]

This may be stating the obvious, but check iTunes.  Not sure if some of the 
music you are looking for is DRM free, although EMI just released their 
library as just plain 'ol AAC files that can be burned as many times as you 
like (and played on other players such as Winamp, my fav).  If it is still 
encoded, you can burn the songs up to 10 times through the iTunes software.

hello:

This, I am hoping is an easy one :-)

I'm interested in making up  my own CDRs for listening in the car. To do
that, I need a source where I can go to download WAV files of my favorite 
songs
? I
can then make my custom CDR from those downloads.  The music I'm after is 
old
top 40 rock from 1969 to about 1990.

Where can I go do download studio quality wave files of this old music? I'm
not looking for a freebie, doing it on the sly or any such thing. More than
happy to pay rightful license fees.

I was immediately turned off when Napster came out and I found out that the
audio quality was all over the place, so I immediately stopped following
internet distribution of music and am thus, ignorant of the practice today.

BTW, these compilation disks I want to make are for my own personal use. My
complaint about readily available Greatest Hits CDs is out of 12 songs on 
the
disk, there might be 6 or 7 that I really want. I want all 12 songs to be of
what i really want :-)

Where do I go, how do I subscribe to this service if it even exists? The 
kids
have Itunes but AFAIK, those are all MP3 and who knows what else. I am a 
real
fuss budget when it comes to technical quality. Has to be right or I won't
bother listening.
