itunes is the way to go. 79p a song or £7ish for an album.
why the hell do you want to pay 7 quid to download an album - the cd is only and extra 2 quid (as someone said)
Allofmp3.com - costs a £1.30 for an album at 320kbit, completely legal and it isnt covered with copyright protection like itunes music, so you can do what you want with it!!

I didnt say I did pay it 
They cant be legal as the amount of money that the record companies charge is well more than £1.30 an album!

I think the legality of allofmp3.com is a bit dubious, I can remember seeing something about it online a few weeks ago. Will try and find it...

The legal status of Allofmp3
Russian copyright legislation allows phonograms to be performed publicly without the authorization of the copyright owner for broadcasting and cable transmission. (Article 39) The Internet could be deemed to fall under this exemption. The copyrights involved have to be paid to a collecting society. This is the 'loophole' that is referred to in several articles on Allofmp3.
An English translation of the Russian copyright legislation can be found at www.copyrighter.ru
Allofmp3 has signed agreements for this with Russian Organization for Multimedia & Digital Systems (ROMS). According to license ¹ ثر-اج-02-36 the Internet-project www.allofmp3.com, has the right to use musical compositions by providing downloads. Under the license agreement Allofmp3 pays out fees to ROMS for downloaded materials that are subject to the Russian Federation Copyright And Related Rights Law.
ROMS manages intellectual rights in the Russian Federation. All third party distributors licensed by ROMS are required to pay a portion of the revenue to the ROMS. ROMS in turn, is obligated to pay most of that money (aside from small portion it needs for operating expenses) to artists, both Russian and foreign.
We have received this confirmation from ROMS:
I can confirm the legality of allofmp3.com You can legally buy/download mp3-songs from this site if it does not breaks the law the national legislation of the country in which you will be during that moment Sorry for my english.
Yours faithfully, the assistant to the lawyer of the Russian society on multimedia and to digital networks (ROMS) www.roms.ru.
