Let's say that I, for some crazy reason, want to buy a digital music album. What'd be my best bet, if I want as little hassle as possible later on? iTunes? Amazon? Something else? This is terra incognita for me!
Where should one buy digital music?

Amazon. When the CD arrives, rip it.
The light that once I thought compassion still casting shadows in your action
The words you shared were cold transactions that bring me to curse what you've done
When you're up there absorbed in greatness with such success you've grown complacent
I hope you scorch your many faces when you fly too close to the sun
Nothing beats having the CD - no need for all that DRM bullshit trying to prove you own a song/album you paid for, just rip it and put it away in your collection.
Such is Life...
Anywhere with no DRM on the music.
Could be a CD from Amazon, but you have to wait for shipping, or could be a digital download site... even <shudder> iTunes offers a lot of its music without DRM.
Just make sure you won't have to buy your music again if your iPod gets stolen or your harddrive crashes, or you upgrade your OS, etc, etc.

Amazon, even though the physical CD is usually cheaper because Amazon has more control over the price, their digital music offerings are DRM free.
How are people not aware of Amazon's MP3 store? Many of the albums on Amazon.com for physical purchase are also available for paid download as a high-quality, DRM-free MP3. I've been using it for months, it's great. The collection even has a good amount of obscure stuff.
I also use LaLa, usually when searching for a song on Google because they have some kind of promotional deal. Their songs cost 89 cents.
I've used Amazon a couple times and I have no complaints. I hate iTunes, fuck them. I know people who use this site but I've not used it before. Seems cheaper than Amazon though: www.mp3fiesta.com
The Rules
Copper- behave toward others to elicit treatment you would like (the manipulative rule)
Gold- treat others how you would like them to treat you (the self regard rule)
Platinum - treat others the way they would like to be treated (the PC rule)
Freedom - When people learn to embrace criticism about politicians, since politicians are just employees like you and me.
