These days I only buy music from eMusic.com. 30 tracks a month for $10. They’ve got mostly indie labels, but as a reggae/world music/new age fan, there’s a good chance I’ll find what I’m looking for there. Moreover, I’m in a city that doesn’t have a top-40 radio station, so I don’t miss the big stars much, nor do I feel much compulsion to keep up with who’s who on the airwaves.
I should somehow check out the iTunes site, just wondering if there is a decent oldies selection. Meanwhile, I just get my tuneage the old fashioned way, I go to the used disk places to replace vinyl I have or used to have, or I check stuff out of the library. Right now I’ve got Spirit “Time Circle” anthology, Steve Hackett “Please Don’t Touch”, a best-of Robert Palmer, and another one, along with three videos.
