Music download sites compared..

ExtremeTech has done a very good job of laboriously researching download sites, investigating functionality such as 'ability to burn to CD' , and producing a nice big table of results. I love these guys.

If DRM is implemented, I think the consistency of use is really important. What if I have a mix of tracks that'll disappear after 3 plays or a month, and ones that I can play as many times as I like but on one device only? It's confusing. I don't remember purchase context when I'm listening to music. So long as people generally stick to a single service, having the exact same rights across that entire service is (imo) one of those soft interaction issues that'll make people either like the service or become kind of cranky with it.

I used up the eMusic 40 free tracks, and then left because I couldn't find anything else I was interested in.

I've been playing with allofmp3.com a lot lately -- there's a link to the English version at the top. Yes, it's a Russian mafia site, but it has a large catalogue with a lot of obscure stuff that's hard to find via normal P2P.
