I would suggest itunes if you don't mind paying .99 per song.

Get a program called Anapod, it replaces iTunes. iTunes = evil. It takes over your computer. Anapod gives you back control over your files. You can copy them from one computer to another using the iPod as an external hard drive. www.anapod.com ($25, or you may be able to find a cracked version. I was unsuccessful and just paid, but it was 100% worth it.)

I use a download service called Newzbin (www.newzbin.com). The files are hosted by your ISP, in my case ***, as newsreader threads. There is a shelf-life, generally 4 days for *** unless you buy the upgraded service. I download full albums rather than songs, there are plenty of DVD's that are posted, etc etc. What you are looking for won't always be available, but you can enter it into their "Watchdog" and it will email you when it finds what you want. Use a program called Newsleecher (www.newsleecher.com) to download. You have to be fairly computer savvy because there are several programs that the downloaded files have to go through (find files on Newzbin, download with Newsleecher, repair with Quickpar, unzip with WinRar)

Newzbin is extremely inexpensive, i just got a year subscription for something like $10. Newsleecher is $30, or if you know where to look you can find a cracked version for free. Quickpar is free, and WinRar is free if you know where to look (i.e. cracked version). I generally download at about 400-450 kbps, a whole album takes about 5 minutes. Anyway, I have never set it up with anyone other than ***, but I'm sure it's possible and there's gotta be tons of info out there if you search google.

yea, I download complete albums even complete artist collections in one download absolutley free.Can even get dvd's, video games, software... Keeps my iPod happy. I see you have a shuffel so you might want to use something like Ares and just get individual songs. I still use Ares for stuff like that and for certan adult videos you can PM me and i can link you to what you need for complete cd's.

Thanks for the info guys, I am getting to old for this crap. How do you know if what your downloading is illegal. I have a federal job and I would like to keep it. Thanks for the feedback. I knew they're would be some people in the know around here.

I would say that if your paying for it, its legit. and if your not paying for it, I dont call it illegal, I call it sharing
