The trouble with looking for alternatives to the iTunes Music Store — who I do love, but their selection is not always all I’d hope it could be — is that everyone else is unacceptable because they:

  • …have a tacky web site, involving either ugly graphics or flash that crashes my browser, functionally disqualifying them;
  • …force you to sign up before you can browse their selection and see if they’ve even got what it is you’re after;
  • …or just sound really sketchy and fly by night such that i’m not particularly interested in giving them my money.

Bah.
