Default Chinese music downloading site

I used Limewire but there are not much Chinese music on there.
Kazaa has too many spywares I do not even want to try it.

I used Boxup.com for awhile. Pretty pricey ($75/yr) but it worked very well as it had just about a complete collection for recent albums. Their collection is very organized as well. Problem is their downloading service shut down abruptedly few months ago and never came back on. Now I need to find a new place to download Chinese songs. Any recommendations? Thx!

Kuro is pretty popular in Taiwan. You pay a little fee on a regular basis for unlimited access.

Rhapsody has a good (to my Western eyes, anyway selection). You get unlimited playback of 750,000+ songs for $8/month. Greatest thing since the slicing of bread. I listen for at least 8 hours a day for less than the price of one CD a month, and I get all of them.

Here's the top 50 artists in the China chart right now so you can see if it's all old junk or what you are looking for

1. 12 Girls Band China
2. Min Xiao-Fen Asia
3. Chen Jun China
4. Yim Hok-Man China
5. Wu Man China
6. Guan Pinghu China
7. The Guo Brothers/Shung Tian China
8. Chen Zeming China
9. Ding Boling China
10. Yayu Khoe China
11. Liu Sola China
12. Pipa China
13. Wu Wenguang China
14. Zi Huang China
15. Sola China
16. Hua Yan China
17. Tin Pui Kong China
18. J P China
19. Song Jin China
20. Wang Ling China
21. Xu Peidong China
22. Yi Ming China
23. Chen Jinrong China
24. Wu Yixiao China
25. Wu Qimei China
26. Zhang Feng China

That's funny b/c I don't recognize any of those names. They must be singers from motherland China. Specifically, I am looking for HK Chinese music. They are actually very different. I'll go check out Rhapsody anyway. Thanks.

Ultimately, I need mp3's to take w/ me in my car and ipod.

I checked them out. It's all classical and opera stuff from the mainland. Rhapsody's still pretty sweet. Burns are $0.79 a track.
