Have your say – which music service do you use?
News in today that Pure has launched Flow Songs – a cloud-based music service that lets you identify a tune played on your radio, then download the track to your device (and an online account).
It’s a neat idea – so long as you have a Pure Flow Radio. So should iTunes be quaking in its boots?
There now seems to be a healthy market for music downloads. There’s eMusic.com for those with alternative leanings, 7digital, HMV music and Amazon Music to name but a few of the big hitters, not to mention the record labels with their own download sections, and unsigned bands releasing material independently from services like Bandcamp.
But which rocks your world? Do you stick to one source, or do you shop around? Do you “try before you buy” with Spotify? Let us know how you get your hands on new music below…

emusic is my favourite as it has by far the best selection. However I dont like how you loose any credits you dont use at the end of each month.

I'm locked into iTunes and proud. Never found myself in a situation where I was looking for a song and couldn't find it. If there was I'd buy the CD and rip it.

I buy CDs and rip them at a high bit rate, and use iTunes to organise my mp3s. I sometimes buy mp3s on iTunes or Amazon if there is an offer or I have vouchers.

Recently gone back to buying and ripping CD's. Used to use Itunes but turned against apple when my ipod broke within warranty and couldn't get my money back. Although there's lots more music choice but the software was annoying when it kept opening itself on its own accord. will check out HMV if its cheaper good to keep an eye out for the best deal.
