iTunes is now selling plain old mp3s rather than its old horrible m4a or m4p files. Amazon and (holding nose) Wal-Mart also sell a lot of mp3s now.
Emusic is hobbled by the fact that the major labels won’t let it sell their music. However, it has a whole lot of cool stuff if you click around.
I suggest not going on any download site beginning mp3xxx, especially if they are promising that you only pay a penny per song or something like that. You have no idea what’s going to happen to your credit card information with those people.
The main legitimate sites are iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, Emusic, Calabash Music (for world music) and (ewww) Wal-Mart. Before you set up an account anywhere else, do a serious Google search. There are bad people on the internet, and they often use music as bait.
