There is a site called eMusic.com that runs a NON-DRM music sales business.

They don't have all kinds of major label stuff though - in fact, it's entirely made up of albums on independent labels, but check out their list. If you're into Indie, jazz, or classical, they might have a few months worth of tunes for ya. You might even find some of your local bands on there.

I think for $20 a month you get to download 90 songs or something. You can buy booster packs to supplement that if it's not enough, but once you download it, you can put it on anything you own (anything that plays non-DRM music, that is).

Definitely check out their site to see exactly what bands are there. If you're not into that kind of music, then don't bother.

I'm quite happy pulling down The White Stripes, early NiN, Violent Femmes, Pixies, Fugazi, Tom Waits, Black Flag, and of course a few blues albums here and there. RL Burnside is not to be missed. Buddy Guy, Bessie Smith, John Lee Hooker, and Ray Charles have multiple albums there too. I figure I'll get at least a year's worth out of it before I'm done.
