Default Online Downloading

Anyone know anything about sites like rhapsody and napster? I'll looking for somewhere where I can legally download songs. Like a place that has unlimited downloads for $12 a month or whatever stuff like that. I'm guessing the catch is you have to buy a whole year or something.

Also I have an ipod, and don't they play mp4s or something stupid so you cant use sites like that?

thanks for any advice.

iPods will play anything as long as its in your iTunes library. m4a is AAC audio, m4p is protected AAC (itunes store), etc. iPod will play anything except WMA.

As for legal downloading... I can't give advice... don't usually do that.

If you're going to pay... why not buy CDs? And if you want just one song... iTunes store?

Yeah see I wanted like 5,000 songs. Which gets rather expensive lol. Thats why the $14 a month unlimited downloading or something like that would be good. But like anything its too good to be true.
