[...] However, If you’re a discerning music listener. If you consume music which is copied from friends or MP3 Blogs, acquaintances with bands, records digitized from your dad’s vinyl collection, or if you occasionally change computers, use multiple computers or multiple ipods, then iTunes will eventually cause you grief.

Thanks for the comments guys. Seems that emusic is leading for the big commercial services. I personally think the only reason iTunes Music Store is so popular is that people don’t know about the alternatives. If you ask an average non-techy person on the street “what’s an MP3 player”, they’ll say “iPod”, and so they’ll follow that to its natural conclusion and buy their tracks at the iTMS. They even sell iTMS recharge cards in Coles supermarkets here in Australia, so I wouldn’t be surprised if a huge proportion of net non-savvy people don’t even know that other stores exist, nor that there are DRM free options which aren’t piracy.

In fact, Apple’s marketing has been so effective that one of my friends purchased an iPod when she didn’t even own a computer.

Stef: You got it totally right, I just thought you might have had more to add, since I already downloaded your album and enjoyed it.

Thanks for all the other suggestions guys. There’s some great stuff there, but keep it coming. Definitely not enough to fill a fat iPod as Velocipede mentioned.

Here’s one which just made it out of my downloads directory: Skeet Spirit - A Crunk Tribute to Radiohead.

For discovery, I think Amarok and last.fm can’t be beaten, along with Gratisvibes.
