I apologize if this is in the wrong place. Please feel free to move it around as you see fit. I recently found [http://amiestreet.com/](http://amiestreet.com/) and I was very pleased to discover that they take Paypal and don’t require a credit card to set up an account. I have found a lot of songs by the more obscure groups that I like at great prices. Unfortunately, they don’t have any of my more popular choices. Is there a reputable site that will let me get what I need with Paypal without asking for a credit card first? ---

[7digital.com](http://7digital.com) takes paypal. UK centric though so unsure about international trades. ---

[Emusic](https://www.emusic.com) takes paypal, that is who I have set up to do my payment through right now. I like them, I pay a flat sum per month and get 75 music and 1 ebook download a month. Every now and then they toss me an extra 10 or 25 or 50 downloads for various things like birthday and christmas. Today I downloaded some ramones, and led zep 3, and some greig and surfed through some electronica that i decided to get next month instead. Bookwise, I downloaded one for the money by janet evanovich. Unlike itunes, it is not drm locked. I port it into itunes, as that is how my ipod is set up, but you can use any program on your computer to listen to the downloads. ---

Well, I am not a fan of DRM, so I was avoiding Itunes =) I have been quite happy with emusic, 75 songs a month and an ebook make me happy and is a reasonable addition to our entertainment budget without getting all that expensive. ---

I have used the site [sell your songs online](http://www.zipboxmedia.com/sell-your-songs-online) to sell my own media online. I am not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I have found it to be helpful. You can legally sell ebooks and music. ---

[Amazon.com](http://www.amazon.com/MP3-Music-Download/b/ref=sa_menu_dmusic2?ie=UTF8&node=163856011). They are rising to be iTunes main competitor, and puts their music in standard MP3 format. ---
