We all know that Itunes doesn't work in the UK yet, Allofmp3 still looks a bit dodgy until I am reassured otherwise. The MSN site only allows wma as far as I can see so is there anywhere to buy tracks legally to transfer to Ipod in the UK?
From what I understand, HMV.co.uk is the same company as Mycoke music: it's Peter Gabriel's company behind both, so I'm fairly sure both only offer .wma files.
Also, they're only available at 128kbps. For the prices they charge, I'd expect a bit more flexibility in file types and bit rates.
