I'm personally a Magnatune fan.

 - Artists with originality, unlike what they play on the radio
 - Gratis streaming full-length, reduced-quality previews
 - You choose how much you pay for an album, USD 5 minimum
 - Artists get 50% of revenue (yes, revenue)
 - Contracts are non-exclusive
 - All music licensed under CC by-nc-sa
 - Platform independent
 - Your choice of WAV, MP3, OGG, FLAC, or AAC
