    Not sure if you all use this or something better, but I have been using google music for a while now and like it quite a lot – clean interface, lots of songs, lyrics scrolling along with the song, and fast….oh, and legit/free 😀

    http://www.google.cn/music – if you’ve not checked it out do so. Doesn’t work while on VPN, must connect from within china. If anyone uses something they’ve compared and find better I’d be interested in knowing what.

    Missus had a look and said that some of the artists were good. She uses QQ for music and gives me what I like with a flash.1st time I was in China was in Nanning and I managed to buy some CDs (TanJing)

    Now I havn’t seen any shops selling music Cds.My music taste is mostly classics,pop etc.

    The site mainly advertises Chinese artists, but if you type in search, it has a ton of western artists/songs, including most genres..the primary difference I find is it’s all very high quality and legitimate, so no having to deal with ‘half’ gray market and inconsistent quality from most domestic services.

    Music: Great topic to have started. Google music in Chinese, but with some guessing I managed to download some music,also Western music. 10-20 secs for a 5 Mb song! Whilst preparing to study Chinese> getting an iPad > surfing iTunes, I stumbled onto their media player. I like it a lot because it has a duplicate search function. Wish I could copy my ratings from WMP to this new player.

    Btw,we all know Ceine Dion. Before her there was another French/Canadian singer (better)Lucille Starr. Wish I could get some of her music.

    not sure if this should go here or the other music thread, but can someone recommend some solid dubstep or drum and bass artists to check out?

    Can’t speak so much on Drum and Bass, maybe someone else would be better to weigh in there. Rusko, Joker and Nero are 3 big dubstep artists you can check out. A few more are Dj Madd, Phaeleh, Gemmy, Mr. Lager, Zomby, Ruf and Loofah.

    Download my drum & bass mixes! The first one to get is Martial Art, which is all songs produced by my friend Passai. Everything is 100% original and unreleased. All atmospheric (lighter and jazzy) drum & bass.

    Drum n bass artists to check out:

    Netsky

    LTJ Bukem

    Ed Rush & Optical

    Bad Company
