Napster

Napster offers over 8 million downloadable music tracks with subscriptions available.

Napster was the original music download site until it received a mighty knock on the door in 1999 and was finally shut down by the copyright police. But apparently there's no such thing as bad publicity and having caught the world's attention, its relaunch as a legit purveyor of digital music was almost inevitable. After a smooth takeover, the now clean-as-a-whistle Napster trades freely, paying royalties to artists and their publishers so your conscience is clean and you get the peace of mind that you’re not going to be dragged off in the middle of the night for pinching songs.

The site holds over 8 million tracks, with a monthly subscription of £9.95 for unlimited downloads, or songs from 79p each and albums from £6.95 to burn to CDs and keep forever.
