ped Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Hi folks, I have been buying lots of music digitally recently (not from iTunes though, I find it pretty steep and a limited library.. have a look at www.mp3fiesta.com). The only problem is not being able to see the credits for the album - but my brother pointed me towards Barnes & Noble. Check it out - you can see the credits for every album, lots of reviews and info. I find it really useful! ped [url="http://music.barnesandnoble.com/index.asp?z=y"]http://music.barnesandnoble.com/index.asp?z=y[/url] Quote

Love the bass on it and always thought it was Bernard Edwards who produced the album.....now it's telling me Nathan Watts was on the album as well....doh! Quote

Mike Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 ped, mp3fiesta seems incredibly cheap. Like, $0.50 for an entire Pat Metheny album. It's all legit, right? Quote
ped Posted February 8, 2008 Author Posted February 8, 2008 I [i]think[/i] so - to tell you the truth I haven't investigared as I don't want to know! It is amazing though, a good catalog of fusion funk jazz and everything else! You no longer have to risk £7-8 on an album you are not sure about - for 25p you can buy it and if you don't like it, put it in the recycle bin!! With Pandora and MP3fiesta I was buying about 2 albums every day for ages. When Pandora went down it saved me money, but now I have just about got to grips with Last.fm so I might have to top up my credit soon... Cheers ped Quote

It's all legit, right?[/quote] depends on how you define 'legit' - it's 'legal' in Russia, though I'd think that technically it would be illegal to 'import' those tracks into the UK, as the 'licenses' that are paid are not recognised internationally. Russian law takes a very laissez-faire approach to copyright law. But if you're buying an entire album for 50c (25p) - the artist is clearly not getting more than that, probably a lot less, clearly less than their cut would be on one track downloaded from just about any other legit service. If you want cheap, ethical legal legit downloads, try www.emusic.com - for £11.99 a month I get 50 tracks... for jazzy stuff where there are often very long tracks on each album, that can amount to a heck of a lot of music for not much dough...
