So I bought a 40 gig mp3 player and was looking to download a few songs. My current collection is all legal and I would like to keep it that way, however 89 cents a song is ******* retarded. For the most part i want to download complete albums, at 89 cents a song I'm going to be paying more for a 15 song album then if i walked into the store and I wont have the album or the wav format for cd burning. So any place cheaper then itunes or rhapsody?

the flat rate ones as far as I can tell dont actually let you download, you can build an online player and play them via internet connection. IE wont work for mp3 player

Find Cabos...it uses all of the Limewire Networks, and is a lighter, faster program. I'd never go back to Limewire, and I would NOT use ANYTHING else as far as P2P...Cabos is open source.

Because the program itself is legal. Limewire is a fully legal program, but what you choose to download is not. It's not the software program that's breaking the law, it's you.

You can buy CDs from the store and rip them to your comp with iTunes if you'd like.

Yep. You can buy a CD, rip it to your library and put it on your iPod, but 'legally speaking' you are not allowed to re-burn your music that originally came from that CD. You are in no way 'legally' allowed to use the music from that CD for anything but your personal listening pleasure. Now, supposedly, I heard like a year or so ago from some magazine my grams was reading that you can download music from p2p networks and listen to it yourself, but you cannot copy that file, burn it for someone else or anything like that... ******' lawyers....
