What other sources are there for me to legitimately purchase music from other than iTunes?
I find there are numerous songs I tag with Shazam (those of you without an iPhone, my sympathies for not having this awesome application:D), and I can't locate them on iTunes as it seems they don't carry them.
Wondering what other source I can rely on to buy these downloads.

Can't think of any. My favorite music listening site is last.fm (http://www.last.fm/home), I'm always finding something new. Something to use at home if your not on your phone Carlos.

Amazon. Better prices, no DRM ever.

Found a website with these sites but I rather hear testimonials as opposed to risking using one and not be worth it.

Napster

Walmart Music

iTunes

Zune Marketplace

Real Rhapsody

Puretracks

eMusic

Audio Lunchbox

Amazon MP3

PayPlay.FM

I see them on the list I just posted.
What is "DRM"?

7digital is a source you can buy through last.fm if you like the album. There are a few more but they have been mentioned.

Checked Amazon and have already found the first two songs I could not find on iTunes.

Digital Rights Management

Restricts what devices or how many devices you can play or store your purchased media on.

I've used WalMart before. Not horrible.

DRM I believe is the anti piracy "code" or some such thing.
