Hi there I'd like to buy some DRM free no regional priced music. There are so many choices and I don't know where tyo begin or who to trust. Does anyone have any suggestions.

Check out Bandcamp, the songs are DRM-free and you can download the songs in pretty much any format, not just mp3. There aren't many major label artists on Bandcamp, but there are a ton of quality artists there in pretty much every genre.

The prices vary between artists and between albums as the artists themselves set the price, some even set their price to be "pay what you want" and some even just let you download their music for free. It's also worth noting that many artists on Bandcamp have it set so that if you purchase a physical CD you automatically get a digital copy of that album to download (for no extra cost).

All in all Bandcamp is perhaps the most musician friendly music store around today, and it's great for music fans as well.

It's a great place to discover new music and a lot of times you'll end up owning something by a 'major label artist'.

plus, most importantly, you won't get stuck at the dog end of a day gone by.

They may not have the biggest collection of music, but they most certainly have some very good albums. You really do need to listen to things before you buy though.

Bandcamp is good too, but again listen to the music before you buy.
It even has the FTL:Advanced soundtrack for free

Magnatune is quite decent. No stuff from big labels but they are good guys as far as I can tell. I bought some music there before they even introduced the subscription model I think, now apparently it's the only option left with Magnatune but you get to download and keep DRM free versions of anything you find there. You should read the FAQ for more information.

And as others have stated, Bandcamp is pretty much the most obvious choice.

Thank you people for the support and sorry for not getting back to this sooner I was reformatting my PC.


I am after something which sells big labels as well so if you know any that do that please inform me while I check these other places out, cheers.
