	i have an account with "i like music" which is a professional music library aimed at broadcasters and commercial music users. Everything is WAV, and its a lot cheaper than iTunes etc - but the GUI etc is not as slick... but if i really like it i still buy the vinyl. Edited by csg - 29 June 2018 at 9:33pm

	look for .flac or .wav files, not mp3. playing mp3 on a big rig should be banned! :-) where to look - legal ways bandcamp, soundcloud downloads, artists own websites. or rip your own cds... otherwise there is a lot on soulseek or torrents (takes a bit of searching to find decent stuff)

	Another one for 'i like music'...... Wav files only and only 55p a track when you purchase 100 credits or 48p per track when you purchase 500 credits, almost half the cost of iTunes, Juno etc. https://web.ilikemusic.com/ DMC Downloads also have a fair amount of their catalogue available as Wav, they cost about the same as Juno. www.dmcdownload.com/ Either way iTunes, Amazon etc. tracks are not licenced for commercial use, iTunes T’s & C’s are very clear about that!! Plus the quality of their (and Amazons) tracks is at best patchy and often very poor. Ripping your own CD’s. This is a little off topic, and will probably stir up a bit of a hornets nest…. however , this seems like a good place to mention it as someone has already suggested doing it…. If you are in the UK, you rip a CD and then use the WAV/Flac/MP3 etc. for commercial use i.e. you 'play out' using the files, you technically need a ProDub licence. This licence allows you to legally make copies and “media shift”. I’m not expressing my opinion on this licence, however it is there and you should be made aware of it. https://www.prsformusic.com/help/help-with-licences/dj-mixes-produb https://www.prsformusic.com/licences/live-performances/dj-mixes Edited by APW - 02 July 2018 at 11:12am
