Can anyone tell me the best place to buy MP3's off the web?

I want to be able to play them on anything I choose, so no I-Tunes. What's the next best place in price vs ease of use vs selection?

I sure as hell hope it ain't illegal, but I've been using http://www.allofmp3.com/. An initial $5 USD down payment goes a long way in the Russian economy. Pretty good selection there, too, plus choice of bitrate.

Whoa, cool.......the entire Beatles catalog?! Also, rare tracks?!

Apple eat your heart out...(Beatles and Apple aren't such good "friends")

I don't know guys, it sounds a little questionable.... Evidently the site's terms of use say that you cannot use their service “if it is in conflict with legislation of your country.” They appear to be exploiting a loophole in Russian laws which makes the service legal there.

I think you're right. After checking it all out I decided not to join because I think they're gathering information...whom is gathering it? It could be US posing as Russia...scary.
