Where do you buy/get your music?

Mar 29, 2012 3:58 PM

I know there's iTunes, i thought there was some places where you can download unlimited music for a monthly fee and i know there's places like demonoid... so where do you get your music?

*edit- also cant forget the brick and mortar stores for the people who actually want the cd!

Mostly through Amazon, though I also check out the websites of bands I'm interested in. They usually have a free song or two available for download, and they're usually pretty good because they want to impress people enough to buy their albums.

I do a lot of DLs through websites I frequent, like thissongissick and vinyl penetration, as well as beatport and soundcloud.

Soundcloud is pretty sweet, kinda like a music FB, but you can only DL songs the artists have allowed.

I have a subscription to Rhapsody, which lets you download anything from their library to your phone for offline listening, but you have to play it thought their browser, and you don't own the song/album.

Spotify

I started using it to replace my daughters Zune Music subscription. I really like it.

I use Grooveshark to stream.
I rarely download music, but if Amazon has something on crazy sale sometimes I will bite.

I use Spotify Unlimited....nothing beats it.

Even the...less than legal...means can't touch Spotify. Everything I want, at the click of a button, without having to download a torrent? Sign me up

i've heard some people locate their music near an inlet of the sea where the land curves inwards, which is inhabited by the type of people responsible for occupying and subsequently robbing ocean-going vessels.

When I buy music I like to get a physical copy. Usually I'd get it from amazon but sometimes I'll still go to the brick and mortar stores.

Mp3.com has free songs every weekday, except holidays. Sometimes more than one. Sometimes you can listen first.
http://mp3.com/

Spinner has a free song every day. You can also follow the links back to see past songs. When I did it, it was over 2 years worth! You can listen first.

If you've signed up for Google Play, they have a free song every weekday, except holidays. They store it in your online library, but you can download them any time. They also have a large group of free songs to browse when you first sign up, or whenever.

The Internet Archive Live Music Archive. Tons of shows from probably thousands of bands. All with the permission of the bands. The Grateful Dead have their own section. I've barely scratched the surface here. I've gotten some Dead, New Riders of the Purple Sage, and Little Feat. You can usually listen before downloading.

Also, videos, spoken word, and texts.

I've been getting a lot of it from Amazon since they have a pretty large collection of free stuff and some good deals on albums once in a while. Plus all of the random deals to obtain mp3 credit. Lately I've gotten a few things from Google Music, but not too much as the prices are often similar to Amazon's. I also tend to find just a lot of random free music or music that comes with games as soundtracks. For instance, the hubmle indie bundles often give the soundtracks out with the games in that package.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
