    You won't get much of a selection with a free (legal) site - of mainstream music that is - but iTunes recently announced a new pricing structure and amazon had some deals of tracks for 29p.

    Tesco is another place that you can get reasonably prcied mp3s.

    You're kinda verging on illegal there.

    You can always use existing CDs to create MP3s

    if you mean the latest (chart) songs its usually illegal to download them for free.

    however if you use something like amazon/itunes etc its legal.

    There's downloading and there's downloading.

    Legitimate music downloads come from sites like iTunes & Amazon, but most stuff from there will need to be paid for. There are a few sites where you can get music for free legitimately, but it won't be popular/chart stuff, by and large.

    The other type of downloading is file sharing via Limewire, Piratebay and so on, which is effectively theft and, therefore, illegal. There's also a significant chance that what you download will have malware thrown in with it.

    Your best bet to get things started without spending is to rip a few CDs and transfer those onto the iPod.
