If iTunes doesn't have certain songs I want for download for use on my iPod, what is the next best place to visit to purchase a song or LP for download?

Specifically, the last time I was out on iTunes I could not find Hole's LP "Pretty On The Inside", nor the solo song "Mono". There were other songs I couldn't find but my list is at home.

So, if you want to download a song to add you your iTunes library and have for use on your iPod, what other site should I visit.

I've heard stories on message boards of people who download songs but then can't get them into their library and stuff, but their stories don't make sence because all you have to do is import from a folder using iTunes and any file seems to be easily added to one's library.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks in advance,

c-

i think you could download from any site, you just might have to convert the file...

i dont think i tunes can do WMA files, but you just need to convert them...
but somtimes WMA can be protected but i think you can still find a converter to do it...

i only really use itunes or "free" sites...

The only way to get copy protected music from other sites to work is to burn it to a cd, then rip in iTunes. If I only want one or two songs and iTunes doesn't have it, I put in a request on the iTunes feedback page, then I find what I want on Limewire.

Do you actually have to physcially burn it onto a CD or can you "import" it from a folder into iTunes ?

You have to burn then rip copy-protected WMA's. Non-protected WMA's can be imported and converted directly in iTunes.
