Dave Winer points to this mini-review of Magnatune.
Aside from the in my somewhat humble opinion sucky name, it is indeed a nice service. Bonus points for:
- no DRM
- multiple formats and bitrates of your choice, including lossless FLAC (though no ALAC, MPEG-4 LAC or aacPlus)
- albums starting at $5 or however much above that you want to pay
- allowing free re-downloads
- PayPal support
Sadly:
- somewhat understandably, no single song downloads
- the website is slow
- the website is cluttered and confusing
- no iTunes plug-in
Feel free to correct me if I got any details wrong.
