Any thought as to which of these Legal music providers offer the best service in relation to cost / CD burning limitations ?

I'm thinking of the likes of Napster, HMV, Virgin, iTunes etc etc. Anybody want to share their experiences of these ?

I know a way to use software that is classed as illegal but make it so it seems legal if you know what I mean...

Anyway, Gizmondo provide a good service, but I find £1 a bit of a rip off. Then there is AllofMP3 (i think that's the name) they are American but it turns out to be about 15p a song. Their whole procedure into joining confused me too much so I didn't bother.

I'll have a good look for you anyway.

HMV have quite draconian rules governing their DRM tracks - from what I understand, you have to pay a perpetual subscription to their service, and if it lapses you music won't play.

nevertheless, i am certain that if you want to remove drm you could either burn it to a CD and re-rip it, or setup your soundcard to record it's loopback device and rerecord its output to a new file, but i won't ever subscribe to anything like this, on principle that it is an utter rip off.
