Download Legal mp3s

"How can I find legal MP3s" is among the top questions we receive.  You may have heard about the ongoing lawsuits filed by the RIAA to curb 'free' file sharing on the Internet.  The following sites are legal ways for obtaining your favorite songs.  They change on average 99 cents for a single and $9.99 for an entire album.

EDITOR's CHOICE, Apple iTunes.
Download on iTunes.
You can download virtually any song for 99 cents.  In addition, you can listen to the first 30 seconds of any song for free.  Apple iTunes boasts the easiest interface for browsing or searching for music online.  This software is for Windows or Macintosh.  The only drawback is if you want to export your MP3 library to an MP3 player, it must be an Apple iPod.

Honorable Mentions; Napster, BuyMusic.com, MP3.com
