looking for a recommendation for a site that sells mp3/wma format single songs that doesn't require IE, or at least allows firefox.

any suggestions?

many thanks,

Probably not what you're interested in, but many sites will allow browsing and downloading right through the Windows Media Player- of course, really that's using IE- it's just "hiding" it from you

The ones I have used make you install their own client or a wmp10 plugin.

Depending on how high your bar is set for the word "legal", allofmp3.com fits your requirements. It does have a very nice spyware-free Windows app for searching the catalog and downloading files automatically in the background, but the site itself, including the downloading of files, works fine from Firefox on my Mac. The best part is the files are mp3, encoded how I want them, and DRM-free.

Of course, their site is basically taking advantage of international legal loopholes that make it impossible for the RIAA to go after them, but that's fine by me.

Indeed. Turnabout is fair use.
