Soundike.com is a service online in which you pay roughly 15 Cents a song for music for any songs you can find on their site, and almost everyone IS on that site.
Generally, most albums come to around 1-2 Dollars, and if you buy the Full album, you save 20% on the price of the songs.
Does it Work?
Yes. Everything from the technical aspect works perfectly fine. If you watch the video up top you can see exactly how it works, as I purchase a song Right before your very Eyes! SHAM WOW!
So what's the problem?
Well the thing is, it says on the site that "This service is legal in all countries".
After doing only a little research, it became very apparent that this is not legal at all.
Soundike.com is actually run by some guy in Russia, who happened to find loopholes in the Legal system because of Russia's Laid back laws on Copyright.
It turns out that all this guy is doing, is downloading Torrents and then selling them to make a profit.
None of the Money you spend is actually going to the Artist.
Now isn't that an interesting fact.
Should I use it?
Well now that depends. Do you care if the money goes to the Artist? Do you realize you could get the exact same thing just by torrenting the Music? Did you figure out that you are only feeding some guys wallet illegitimately?
The answer is: If you feel like paying for something you could get for free, and it's still technically illegal even when you're paying for it, Then YES! Go ahead.
But if you actually want to support your favorite Artists, look for an alternative source.
If you haven't done so already:

Gorillaz is a super classic band, and for a good reason. With some of the best combinations of electronic music, featuring artists from Mos Def, to MF Doom, it's a really incredible band.
Their newest album, "The Fall", was even recording entirely on an iPad! I highly recommend they become an integral part to your music library, and I've been listening to them for the last month straight (Religiously).
