i know how some compaines work and im not willing to commit myself to a service like that.
Most online music stores don't actually charge anything to the card unless you buy a track. The two I have tried are MSN Music Club (powered by OD2 so all OD2 services should be the same) and iTunes. I have to admit, I was a bit wary of giving OD2 my card details, but Apple had them already as I have purchased stuff online at the Apple Store, so although I needed to re-enter them, I felt safe.

In answer to everyone else: Have you ever taped anything from the Radio or TV because, although tolerated, I think that is still counted as theft?

Actually, I looked up the copyright act a while back, and as I understand it, but downloading music isn't actually considered theft, but is considered to be recieving stolen goods. It's still illegal, so I am just being picky.
