Here's a slightly OT question, but one I haven't the foggiest clue about where to get the answer.
I'm an American lover of music who is interested in buying legally music from other countries. How do I know which CD/online music stores are legit and actually benefit the artist? I'm very cost-conscious and prefer indie music anyway, so the types of international music for sale on Amazon/itunes tends to be from the bigger labels. Suppose I wanted to buy music from Pakistan/Ukraine/China/Brazil/Chad. What's the best way to identify which labels or online stories are authorized to sell them? Perhaps all I need is a list of the best known online music stores for each region (Yesasia.com, etc). Maybe what I need is a set of guidelines about which places online are good to purchase from and which are bad? Anybody have ideas about where to get started? Thanks. |

I just discovered http://www.qobuz.com/ and they have music from punk rock and metal bands that I absolutely love but rarely find at other stores that offer FLAC.
