WordPress comments use real XHTML, so you'll have to escape your > and < as &gt; and &lt; to have them displayed. As mentioned, Magnatune does sell non-DRMed music, but yeah... that's just not in the budget at the moment. :) That's where Jamendo came in to play. :D Yep.

I'll try again with no HTML. Mm, it definitely would be nice if more sites offered non-DRMed music... I'm unable to play DRM WMA files, too. There aren't that many sources for anything decent I've found, either free or for-pay. The one legal music store I know of that sells non-DRMed MP3s, eMusic, annoys me in their insistance on monthly subscriptions; plus I've had some bad experiences with them, too. I had a free trial once, and cancelled it - but they renewed it without asking me. If I hadn't noticed that they had done that, I would have ended up paying at least the first month's subscription after the trial ran out. At least some artists seem to have nice non-DRMed sample offerings; the most surprising I've seen is one of my favourite singers, Jana Kirschner (http://www.janakirschner.com), who has about three full albums as MP3s on her site.
