I recently had a friend on Facebook ask if anybody was interested in buying her $10 iTunes gift card. She didn't have a lot of takers and I definitely was not one of them.
After reading the Steve Jobs biography, it was clear that Jobs legitimized the music download industry.
Before iTunes, people would go to an illegal site to download the music for free. It's not that these were bad people, but these people really wanted their music. A lot of times people only want one or two songs off an album instead of the whole CD in a store. iTunes provided a way for people to legally download individual songs that they'd like at a good price.
But, just as in any industry, cheaper is always better. So whenever people ask me for good legal music download sites, I always tell them to go to www.gomusicnow.com. Each song is $.09 and new or featured music is $.15 per song. It's a legally run, American site.
What I love about gomusicnow is that it combines the two things people look for: A place for legal music downloading, and the cheapest music. You can get a new album for just over a dollar. I don't think the site has as large of a selection as iTunes, but most of the popular music should be on there. They've also got previews for each song to see if it's the right version you're looking for. Check it out the next time you're in the market for some new tunes.
