Alternative to Amazon for Purchasing MP3s
Dennis Wiggins:
I've had a bit of "falling out" with Amazon. They have for many years been my sole and reliable source for finding nearly everything I wanted. I now need to move on to another MP3 vendor.
I am not interested in a "DJ" subscription service. I buy Oldies, Pop, and Country much like any music lover.
Corey Scogin:
You probably won't find much Oldies, Pop, and Country but a lot of smaller artists are on Bandcamp. It's my first place to look. They offer lossless versions too.
What about Apple/Itunes?

Thanks, but I don't have or use anything Apple. In fact, I only have a flip phone which what got me locked out of Amazon's method of 2-step verification. Circular trap. Long story.
I Googled about quite a bit trying to find any other source with A's breadth and depth of music, but no luck.
Anyhoo, I created another account that uses wifey's phone for A's 2-step verify. Now I KNOW I can't live without her! :)

I'm confused.
How are you storing this music?
What are you using to play it back?

From Amazon, I purchase the tracks and download the MP3 files to a MS Surface 3. I've been using AIMP for about 2 years. It does what I need a player to do.
Sometimes, I use a Peavey USB-P, but mostly just the headphone output to a Mackie ProFx8 or Fx4.
- - - From somewhere on PSW:
"Two types of DJs. Those that "mix" 20 minute (or more) long passages between breaks or changes. and those that play pre-recorded tracks as the original artist intended while adding appropriate gain riding and EQ-on-the fly."
I am the latter.
