Where do non Windows/Mac users buy MP3s online? 0

HankB writes "Now that Music is finally starting to show up in MP3 (no DRM) format, where do you go to buy legal MP3s if you are not running Windows or MacOS? The vendors I know about are:

Walmart — even if I change my browser's user agent tag, it checks for Windows Media Player and won't let me proceed.

Amazon — Will sell me a track at a time for about 1$ US but requires a special Win/Mac download program to buy an entire album.

Are there other places that sell legal downloads? Googling for this seems useless because all of the places that sell music in proprietary formats seem to have bought up the top slots for "buy mp3 music.""

HankB writes ""The mandatory unpaid leaves, affecting about 1,900 people, will last through September, when a new budget year begins, unless cuts to Fermilab's current budget are restored by Congress."

Apparently here in the US we don't need no steenkin science!"
