buy the cd and rip them into your phone
It's pretty much one of the only ways to make sure the artist gets a half decent cut though.
Unless you want to use bandcamp, which is much easier.
Bought out by EPIC, sadly.... we'll see where things go...
Not anymore, EPIC sold it to Songtradr

I hate epic, but I also can't tell if this is good or bad... my statement stands: we'll see.
Well songtradr did essentially fire a lot of staff.

Uh oh
Well I guess at least for dubstep there's 140plates.com
Edit: nevermind... Damn it
the first CD i ripped was like 2 years ago
Not ideal but artists get paid proper. Just don't share then you're mostly fine.
P.S.: Subject to your local law which may prohibits ripping a CD. This is NOT a legal advise.
Edit: I don't know if my statement is right or not given the downvotes. Can someone explain?
