    Where to download paid music in Canada

    OK, I know the board rules, so please limit this to LEGAL paid download sites like itunes PLEASE!!

    Simple situation. Just bought an ipod, tried downloading music from itunes CANADIAN music store and their selection is crap for lack of a better word. They have like 1/20th of the songs the US site has.

    For example they have no zeppelin, no AC/DC, like 1 Aerosmith album, most of the rolling stones songs are covers, etc. It just sucks.

    So I am looking for a site where I can pay like $1 per song but actually get some good songs. I knwo Canada has to have sites like this, but where?

    So where do my fellow canucks get legal downloads? Any help would be greatly appreciated.. or else I'll never be able to fill up my new nano.

    How doesn't Napster doesn't work with iPod? It's a DRM-enabled mp3, right?

    Also... I never noticed the sad state of no AC/DC, Led Zeppelin or Rolling Stones via iTunes before today. Wow. But yet I can find obscure King Tubby (Jamaican Dub) though... hmmm.

    It's actually a DRM'd wma. I looked into it because I've also been looking for a way to download music legally... I'm tired of dealing with customs, shipping charges, etc. when buying CDs online.

    13. What type of music files and digital rights management software does Napster use?
    The Napster music that is downloaded to your computer is in Window Media Audio (WMA) format at 128 Kbps stereo. We use Microsoft Windows Media Digital Rights Management software to make sure all the music you have is fast, safe and protected.

    So your choice is between one closed system and another.

    Read this to learn why DRM is evil, no matter who provides it.
