One of the best purchases I did these past years. Make sure to get a silicone case and a lanyard.

https://www.supraphonline.cz/ is my favorite source: they have about everything. You can buy track-by-track or the full album. You get FLAC files immediately.

Your regular file manager, doing a drag and drop from the ~/Downloads folder

The default Sony player isn't bad, but there are 2 other extremely good players: Musicolet (great for it support of lyrics if you are into Opera or Rap) and PowerAMP (great if you have a USB Dongle or new bluetooth headphones and want to make sure the codec support is adequate)

Exactly what I'm looking for -- except the whole site is in Czech!

Use google translate. Create an account, save your credit card, then it's just about clicking in the same place as you did before :)
