Take it from a computer tech. Stay away from free music download engines. The music industry is putting viruses in the music intentionally. It was announced they would a few years back and they did. The reason your having a hard time finding music is less people are willing to take the risk. I see probrably 10 computers a week with virus covered music.

Go buy it off amazon, and move on.

stay away from limewire.
5 weeks ago i had a pc come in that was loaded with viruses.
i cleaned it up, removed the bad stuff, and it turned on and off with no problems.
worked just like a normal computer should, they take it home, hook it up, and as soon as it made internet contact everything i removed was put right back on.
they brought it back, we exchanged a few words, i did the job again right in front of them.
removed the hd and pluged it in to my pc and ran everything i had to clean it up.
put it all back, turned on, turned off and back on, loaded in to windows just fine.
told me thank you, took it home, hooked it up and as soon as they made internet contact all of it was right back on.
came back and we had a good exchange of chouse words.
it came down to me doing a compleat recovery and put it all back like the day they took it out of the box.
they have not had a problem since.

Tell me about it. I've been able to get rid of them on a friends computer without starting over, but then his kids would go right back to downloading and call me again to fix it.
I love the ones you can find. The ones you can't are a PITA
