What are some good websites for purchasing mp3s?

[ZombieHorde]

I am looking for an album called Merzbird, by Merzbow. I have tried iTunes and Amazon, they have Merzbow albums, but they don't have that specific album.

I prefer to pay for the mp3, because I don't think Merzbow sells many albums.

5. I saw that website, but their links are broken.

Both of the song links lead to a NOT FOUND/404 message.

8. As in this one? Merzbow - Black Swan (Merzbird) Masami Akita

I just downloaded it here:

If there is a problem with copyright or anything else, when you go to download it tells you so. Meaning this is legal and expected.

9. I just downloaded it, but when I opened it with iTunes, the time was over an hour.

Do you know anything about this? Why would iTunes make the song significantly longer?

[freshwest]

10. Because the track is actually an hour as I saw from other people's comments on their other videos.

There is a track that I wanted from Brian Emo and the video only went 10 minutes but people were complaining that youtube didn't allow them to make videos any longer, that they had the album and it was an hour.

When I downloaded it, just as you saw there, I got the entire hour. It is complete, not cut off as the videos are. I've downloaded lectures that are several hours both as video and audio files and they come out fine. So you just got the entire track.

Don't worry, it's not a loop or anything. Hope you enjoy it.

11. Oh! Thank you so much. Now I have to go buy another album by the artist so he gets some money.

Again, thank you!

12. You're welcome. Sorry that I can't help you with buying from them. Youtube usually has links...

To iTunes and Amazon right there on the video, if they are available. If it's there, I like to get it from them.

You may still run into the same problem purchasing at the band's website as you mentioned above. One thing I've found that works for me when trying to buy online is which browser I use.

For some reason, my Firefox doesn't play well with most sites. Works fine with Amazon, but not others. So I have to open Safari and purchase from there. And if they want PayPal, unfortunately, no matter what browser I'm on, it won't go through.

Try emptying your cache or another browser. Good luck. That's an interesting form of music there. I like 'noise music' to sleep at times, although some of the other youtubers say that band is in clubs now.
