Who is the best provider of legal music downloads?  Rhapsody looks popular @ $12.99 a month (unlimited).  

Any advice?

The best one is the one that has the artists you want and the one that has the most lenient copy to CD policy.  

Remember that you cannot use that music in VideoWave from the download.  It would violate your agreement and DRM.
Regardless of what I say about computer maintenance, there is no need to defrag a solid state hard drive.

Many feel iTunes is since they seem to have the largest catalog library.

Thanks for the replies.

I went ahead and signed up to iTunes @ .99 a song.  iTunes downloads the songs in an m4p format, not mp3.  This format seems to be familiar with only iTunes.  It is great for placing songs onto an iPod or to burn music CD's from your iTunes Music Library.

I guess this is perfect.  Why else would I want to download these songs.

Again, thanks for the advice.

I have had problems with the m4a format...can't use them on my slideshow. Roxio can't modify, I suppose unsure.gif  The slideshow is not for resale, they are gifts to families of our fallen troops.
