Thumbs up fav's

Hello Drumsing, thanks for this opportunity. As far as legal sites go, I use itunes and probably because of the familiarity and how easy they make it to download music. Growing up I remember being excited about an album coming out and getting excited about it from the single the radio stations would play. You would have to buy the album and more often than not, the rest of the album would not live up to the single. You'd be lucky if there were two good songs. When I first was introduced to itunes, I couldn't believe you could buy your songs "a la carte" without having to purchase the whole album. Love it.

As far as the risky sites go, I end up playin by the rules and pay for everything. The only experience I have is making sure my kids don't get in trouble with any of them.

With regard to the streams, I use Pandora and though it's good and has introduced me to some new artists, I do get frustrated with a few things. Obviously I understand they have to make money, but the ads can be a little overwhelming, especially when you get three in a row. Secondly, it seems like they rotate the same songs when you create a station so often times you end up hearing many repeats. For these reasons I have a curiosity about Spotify but haven't investigated it yet.

Lastly, I don't use Satellite Radio yet but have been curious about that as well.
