Some sites where you can buy legal music downloads in Ireland.
If you want virus free , quality music to download to your PC and MP3 player we can recommend these sites.

Itunes is the best music download site for Apple Ipod owners - in fact don’t bother going there if your MP3 player is not an Apple Ipod because the tracks are not compatible with other players.

On Itunes - very song is 0.99 Euro cents and Itunes say they have 6 million of them - so you should be able to find something you like! You can also download Podcasts and Audio Books.

Other download sites use Microsoft’s Windows Media Audio (WMA) format, which is more versatile and will play on most players including iPods.

Napster used to be known as an illegal download site - but now they are all above board and you can buy tracks here  for a typical price of 79 pence (about 1 Euro) Napster was one of only 2 Best Buys in the Which guide and they got 4 stars out of five in PC Advisor Magazine. File formats suitable for Apple, Creative Zen, Sony, and all other MP3 players.

Napster have a 7 day free trial - find out more here. It says UK only - but give it a go for free and see.

ou can choose to pay per download or subscribe to unlimited downloads. .The subscription packages on offer are great for those who want unlimited access to a variety of music. There’s also a pay as you go option if you just want to buy certain tracks.

HMV also sell music downloads in WMA format from 69p  (approx 90 cent euro) per track and £6.99 per album. (About €8.75 Euro)  .
HMV Digital  have a good range of music but Be aware - Firefox browser will not currently work with HMV downloads.

Tesco Digital Downloads site has new tracks from 59 pence Sterling (About 75 cents euro). Whole albums can be bought for download for as little as £5.98 - about €7.50 Euro. You need a UK bank credit card to buy songs.  So this site will be more suitable for Northern Ireland residents. (Your address can be an Irish one though). The songs can be played on Apple Ipods and other Mp3 players . Tesco have over 3 million tracks to choose from  - and can be used by Irish residents. File formats are MP3 or WMA. (Apple MAcs cannot be used to download music from Tesco)  MP3 format will work with any player; WMA files will not work with Ipods and some older Mp3 players.

HMV has no dedicated Hmv.ie site for it’s Irish customers - but that is not a problem because online shoppers in Ireland can use the main HMV.com site.

HMV sell a wide range of Cds, DVDs, TShirts , Video Games . Delivery to Ireland is £2.50 GBP - about €3.12 Euro per item.  Amazon no longer deliver  video games to Ireland - so the HMV website is a brilliant alternative and great for those of us living outside of Dublin, Cork, Limerick or Galway.

HMV’s online prices are sometimes  cheaper than the Irish HMV shops  even after delivery charges are included - and the Euro Sterling exchange rate is favourable for Irish shoppers just now. See the prices on HMV now.
