Default Next question: how do I download one song?

I don't mind paying per song, but there are a few I'd like and I don't own the CD's.

TIA

I was going to recommend Blinkbox Music but looks like they've just gone into administration! Guvera acquired it from Tesco only six months ago! They were good in that you could download "stations" for various tracks. Anyone recommend an alternative service?

Been having a look, £0.79 to £0.99 for one song.
How do they come up with a price? Why is a song that's almost the same length 20p dearer?

Yup popularity, record label, lots of a/n other factors, when its a 20p difference does it really matter?

I wish you knew how stupid that is.

Apple will start signing artists soon, then they can give them even more.
