"Downloading music"

Where is the best place to legally download music albums? I want to buy an album which is out today but I haven't got enough to go out and buy it, but I went on Woolworths' website and they have it available to download for £5.99, is this the best place to download it from because it's quite cheap for an album.

Anoter thing, if I want to copy the tracks onto a CD will I be able to do that? They are special files or anything? Just normal MP3 files, yeh?

Thanks.

iTunes is good, but only works if you have Windows XP. The files are in Apple's own proprietary format, and only playable in the iTunes software or on an iPod. But you can burn them to CD and rip to MP3. Prices from 79p per track or albums from around £6.99.

Then there's the Coke website - [URL]http://www.mycokemusic.com[/URL] - I've never bought from there, so I'm not sure of the format but I think it's MP3. Prices around 99p per track, I think.

Or there's Sony Connect - [URL]http://www.connect-europe.com[/URL] - who (obviously) have all the Sony artists. Prices from 89p per track.



If you want the actual CD at a lower price, try Play.com, cdwow.com or 101cd.com

Tell us what album, and I'll let you know the iTunes price.
