I have a video ipod and use the Real Music store for all my music purchases.

HI Janet,

I eMusic.  The files have no DRM protection, so they're easy to play 
in anything.

The RealPlayer music store is accessible.  Unfortunately, if I 
transfer music from RealPlayer to an iPod Shuffle, the playing order 
of the Shuffle is totally scrambled, so this is not a viable option for me.

By contrast, the iTunes music store isn't very accessible, but once 
the content is on my computer, it's easy to transfer to my 
Shuffle.  So I have to choose between accessible purchase and the 
ability to use the content as I wish once I have bought it.  So I 
generally ask my sighted husband to help me purchase from iTunes if I 
want content not available at eMusic.

I know some people are using Napster, but I've never tried it since 
their files don't work with iPods.

Cheers,
Anna
