MP3 downloading

Hi guys,

I'm after some advice from the music fans on the forum.

My girlfriend has an MP3 player which she hardly ever uses, because she has a very large CD collection but hardly any MP3s. Of course she could rip the CDs, but she finds it easier to just play the CDs as they are.

So, to help her use her MP3 player, I thought I'd buy her some credit on a music download site for Christmas. Only I can't seem to find a single site which meets her requirements. I'm looking for a site which:

- Is legal
- Supplies MP3 files (as opposed to WMA - her player claims to support WMA, but in actual fact doesn't seem to play them at all, something to do with the security, I think)
- Has a good selection of main-stream records.

So far, the only sites I've found which supply MP3s are either file-sharing site which I don't think are legal, or else they only have records from independant labels.

I'm pretty sure that this week's Gadget Show on Channel 5 had an article on this subject and recommended a couple of sites, but it was only on in the background and I wasn't really paying much attention.

Any advice???

FFF
