iTunes alternative 'Beatport' are running a new remix contest with a range of prizes up for grabs. First you will need to set up a user name to access the site fully.
Beatport is a great legal download site and differs from itunes in that it specializes in independent electronic and dance based music (hip hop is covered from sister site beatsource). The interface is much more conducive to browse and has the feel of DJ and production software...more on this point later.
Another point worth a mention is that the mp3 quality is higher then iTunes at 320kbps which gives a superior playback quality and is aimed at those who want to DJ from mp3s.
Back to the interface, this was desinged by soft synth giants Native Instruments and for anyone who has used their sampler "Kontakt" it feels very similar. There is even a FREE downloadable itunes style music player with the ability to mix from one track to the next using the decks and crossfader built in. Its an ideal piece of software for anyone starting to produce mixtapes. The software is called Beatport Sync and again is designed by Native Instruments.
Anyway heres the link to beatport
Goodluck!
