Finally got an IPOD, Where to DL music?

My girlfriend bought me an IPOD for my Bday, and now I need to find a place to download music and TV shows.

Anybody know of a good site?

I'm not looking for bearshare, limewire, or mp3 rocket PSP search engines.

I want a site that has HIGH quality audio/video converted just for the IPOD.

Basically, I'm looking for a website like iTunes, but has a flat monthly fee.

I've found IpodDownLoadsPro or FeedMyIpods, but are these good sites?

TIA iClub!

i know you know the itunes store.. and that is what i suggest.. i have had great luck with itunes providing good stuff for a decent price.


I am just not willing to spend 10,000 dollars to have 10,000 songs on my ipod.

There are some sites where you can pay a lot less to download MP3's than iTunes. I'm a Mac guy, but I know there's alternatives out there. I just haven't found them myself. LOL.

Too bad Napster is WMA. Otherwise that's a good one. eMusic is iPod friendly, but they cater to independent labels primarily.

u can try mp3fiesta.com 10 cents a song, cheaper overall if u grab the whole album, comes in various mp3 formats (anywhere from 128-320 kbps)

Not sure if it's illegal in the US though. It's a Russian site that replaced allofmp3.com

ever since my CD wallet containing hundreds of CD's was stolen from my car, I refuse to repurchase any media that was stolen.
I just find large .rar files containing .mp3s of **** I already paid for. *torrents*
hope that doesn't help you.

I've never thought about it that way... 10k bucks for 10k songs.

allof was the s***. Whole albums for a buck when I first joined. Thanks for fiesta. I hope they have a downloader like allof did. . .

and +1 for large torrents and discographies.

I was really hoping for a site that had a standard encoding for every MP3 (192Kbps).

I hate sorting the files that I download from P2P programs like LimeWire.
Constantly changing the ID3 tags, renaming the filename, etc. I just want a standard.

I'm also looking for Music Videos as well, $1.99 is too much on iTunes. However, the quality is really good, and not some TV card recording from MTV.

I guess I'll try the torrent way and download entire albums. At least I know who ever did the encoding did the entire album the same. I just hate downloading an entire album for just one song.

How is mIRC, there must be some good channels around?

idk about this fiesta site, but on Allof, you could download just one song. You also go to to choose the encoding.

the first part where u enter your name and pw isn't secure, but then it'll take u to a secure site when u enter cc info to fill in your pre-paid balance.
