Works perfectly for me and I´m nearly finished
to put the first downloads online. And it´s rather cheap and with nice supply
people.

I'm not sure what kind of ideas you mean, Michael, but I here
are two
sites I like: http://www.magnatune.com and http://www.jamendo.com/en/.
Magnatune
sells albums in the formats MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC and AAC.
Play your
music on any platform: Windows, Mac and Linux. No copy
protection
(DRM), ever. When you burn a CD from their WAV files,
you'll have the
same sound fidelity as a store-bought CD. But they
also sell physical
CDs. Last time I bought an album (16 bit wave
format) you could pay
whatever you wanted over a set minimal price. I
think that is nice,
because if you should happen to have more money
you are able to give
more to an artist you like and wants to support.
Magnatune have a
funny branding, they admit being a record label but
they also stress
that they "are not evil" ;-)
Jamendo only offers downloadable music
albums in two formats: 200
Kbps MP3 or 300 Kbps Ogg Vorbis. The Ogg
alternative is close to CD
fidelity. Some offered music is really good
and I think they are
making a mistake in not offering also a FLAC
alternative (lossless,
full fidelity format). Music is given
away for free and listeners
can donate by PayPal directly to the
artists. All music recordings
are licensed according to Creative
Commons. Jamendo started in France
and the site, that is rather
community oriented, has grown into
French speaking areas and English
speaking areas. I doubt they will
ever meet ;-))
