The annoying thing about itunes is that the songs will only play on Apple ipods and itunes music players
.
I download my music from the Woolworths and Tesco websites - the songs are usually 59p-79p (depending on offers) and newly released albums are £5.99 upwards, although they used to come with copyrights and they wouldn't play on my mp3 player unless I copied them onto CD and then back onto the computer without the copyright.
However, I think they've now changed some, if not all, of the music so that it is no longer restricted by copyrights and privacy encoding.
Hope this helps
