pay to download music ?

[kronas]

realnetworks inc is set to introduce its 'rhapsody' music download service to europe the company plans to rollout the service in the second quarter of 2004 currently rhapsody has 385,000 songs available.....

but competition will be stiff as apple's itunes service and roxio's reborn napster program are also likely for a euro launch

In response to ht ethread title - If I have to pay to download something I normally purchase it from a shop instead.

I might pay to download a collection of songs that would otherwise be on different albums, so I could burn them onto a single 'ultimate compilation' CD.

Towny's best CD in the world ... ever!

After all, doing it for free is illegal.

I already have an iPod and iTunes for Mac, and I can alreadydo everything in the Music Store excepta actually buy tracks (previews, samples and music vids all work a treat), and it is a fantastic offering.

Yes it is but sometimes you can find trial versions to see if you like the songs before you purchase them.

I wouldn't do it the illegal way even though places like Kazaa etc exist.

True, although you can listen to song previews before you buy in the iTunes Music Store.
