(Ironically, the music they played during the rave was some a lot of the best I've ever heard. Any info as to what those songs were called would be appreciated, heh.)

Good luck on that front. The closest thing I can think of is eMusic, but they're subscription. Besides, requiring JPop pretty much rules out everything.

I could tolerate a subscription, but I looked and they didn't have anything.

Also, try to order them used. Trust me, it is a lot easier. I routinely imported music not so long ago.

Posts: 3014/5072		 I'm looking for an online music store with several specific properties... haven't had any luck. Anyone know of one?

Things that it MUST have:
  • Good selection of JPop. None of the stores I've found yet have any. Even if the site is in Japanese, I can at least try to stumble my way around. Music from other countries would be a bonus.
  • No DRM! Even if it costs more to download the non-crippled versions. MP3 is fine, OGG or Vorbis is better.
  • Payment by credit card, not Paypal. Ideally none of that contract crap either; just pay 20 bucks and I can download 20 bucks worth of music whenever I feel like it. I could live with a monthly fee system, but I'd like to avoid it.
  • Must serve Canadians. Obviously it'd make no sense for a store selling downloads not to, but that hasn't stopped some.



Other things I'd like to see (but don't require), from most to least important:
  • Previews of the song; download a 30-second clip or something. I'd like to know what I'm getting without having to pirate a copy first.
  • Good speed.
  • Album art.


I'll probably add to this list later.
