Default Advice for MP3 download service

The last time I was downloading music was back in the "free" days of early Napster, etc. My online music pursuits have been minimal for many years.

I have just purchased an MP3 player for my son for Christmas and I was wondering what some of the better download services/sites are. I see some charge just per song, others require a monthly fee plus a per song charge.

Your suggestions are welcome. Here's our general music profile:

80% for my son (12):
Pop (top-40) some classical and alternative.

10% wife:
'Easy listening' and Tagalog/Filipino artists

10% me:
Classic rock, contemporary jazz, other eclectic.


So, would like something without any long-term subscriber committments (or just used to only using 1 service) but with an extensive library if possible.


~missing the days when you could download a song for free and then find out you got almost 87% of it [lol]

iTunes has a ton of songs. But I believe Kazaa and Morpheus are back up and running, but I'm not sure.

I bet they're all radio edit versions.

For $0.88 you get what you pay for.

I also like iTunes Music Store. It's cheap and convenient. Straight into my iPod -- which is what I use to listen to most of my music.

I use AresLite. You can get it from www.download.com. Its free and ad-free. I used to use Morpheous/Kazaa/Grokster, but they now have spyware attached.

You should be able to find all the music you want on there too. Ive downloaded a bunch of filipino songs from Ares.

Thanks all. Free sounds good and if that doesn't work out, I'll go for the iTunes option.
