Like the glory days of Napster

I just had a look online for the Kelis song "I Don't Think So" for my boss. He loves singing along to the Big Brother commercials whenever they come on, and that's the song they use.

Usually when you try to find Mp3 download sites, they're always shady paid sites - where you have to pay 85 cents for an MP3. Or, you can click the link for free, but that just takes you to another Mp3 site, and you find the song there and click the link, and it takes you to yet another site.

But today I discovered Bee MP3 (URL is what you'd expect). Bee MP3 actually works - I think the songs are hosted at other sites, but they actually all seem to work, and it's all quick and painless. Good selection too - who says you need iTunes to get Mylene Farmer albums? I'm very happy.

(I also downloaded the song "Sweet About Me" by Gabriella Cilmi, because I think it would be a great song to have in the background of an Ubuntu TV commercial; this idea is still cooking).

Obviously I'll still buy CDs, but for one-offs this site is tops.
