Top 5 Best Music Download Sites

Do you want to download great music to your playstation portable? The great thing about the playstation portable is that it’s so diverse; you’re all in one media player! With the click of a mouse you can transfer anything on to it. Games, Movies, Music, TV Shows and software! And with broadband it’s now even easier to download all those things.

But where do you go to download your latest favorite games, movies or music? There are lots of person to person (P2P) sites on the net but most of them are illegal to download from because you break copy write laws.

The best thing to do is to use a special service. There are a lot out there, most of them charge you a small one time fee then you can download music, movies, games & software from them for life. Be wary of the ones that ask you to pay a monthly fee, this is usually not worth it as other services are much cheaper. Also make sure there’s a money back guarantee with the service you use, the ones that don’t could just be drawing you in, only for you to find there selection of downloadable media is poor.

So is there anything else you need to check for before joining a site? Some sites are only compatible with certain Playstation portable firmware. To check this, go into the sites FAQ, where it usually tells you what’s compatible. To check your Firmware go to the system menu within the Playstation portable.

Is anyone else annoyed with itunes as much as me right now?

Has this happened to you???
You hear a great song on the radio, so you rush to iTunes to search for it, and buy it, before you forget about it. A simple 5 minute process right? search, download, sync, go.
Instead you are faced with those annoying “update to the new version” prompts. You can ignore them, until now. Now you have top update, or you can not buy new music. so instead of a 5 minute process. you now have to download the new version, which takes about 20 minutes, (and that’s high speed!). you then have to restart your computer, and then finish the install. Then you have to logg back into itunes, and search out the artist, that you probably forgot by now. I could have drive to best buy faster!
How else is sick of these updates, every time you log in?
Then to top it off, when you want to send them a “I’m mad at you for being stuipd” email, you haver to waste another 20 minutes searching their site, and filtering through FAQ’s to get to an email link.
I’m out of words…

I hate itunes.

I remember the first (and last) time I used them, I had an itunes gift card. At first it never gave me the option to pay with the gift card. It was 10 minutes before I realised that in order to use a gift you had to click on entirely different link - a link that was conveniently hidden in the bottom right corner of the page.

Then they made me download and install their software so that I could download the actual songs. Then I found out that songs were m4a format instead of mp3, which meant they could be played on RealPlayer, WMP, or any of the other programs on my machine - which meant I had to keep the itunes downloader just for those 25 songs.

Since the songs were 99 cents a piece, I had 25 cents left on my card which I could not use or get refunded in anyway except to keep buying more cards. I decided it wasn’t worth saving 25 cents and simply threw the card away, but it left me wondering how many people do the same.

Then I find out that even though I paid 99 cents for each song I’m only allowed to copy them five times each, which stinks if you like to make mix CDs for driving and whatnot.

On the whole it was very disappointing. I don’t mind paying for my music, but this wasn’t worth it.

Edit: And I forgot to mention, I couldn’t find half the stuff that I was actually looking for. I ended up downloading other songs - songs that were good rather than great.
