Default Music downloading...

Does anyone know of a good site, free or pay, that has high quality of songs to download? I'm looking to download directly from their database, as opposed to the typical shared files between online users. I'm so bored of my current CD's and radio music, I'd like some new songs. Thank you vewwy vewwy much!

I think Kazaa uses the same user-to-user process, not directly from its database.

Yes, you have to pay for both Kazaa and Napster, but I was saying that they both use the peer-to-peer sharing, not direct download from the database.

I recently paid for WinMX and not very happy with it. So back to buying CD's from BMG.

I honestly don't remember the last time I bought a music CD. It must of been about 6-7 years literally. But hey, just earlier today I bought another 100 pack of blank CD's to make my new music.

I use mIRC for most of my video/music/software downloads. If you take some time to learn how to use it, it's not so bad, and you can actually find more than what you're looking for.

I find downloading music to be very stressful, for some reasons; maybe too many to choose from, unsure of their qualities, etc. Buying original CD's is best.
