    Hi
    It's probably not legal. The site is registered to a guy in Vladivostok.[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]

    Thanks.

    There are plenty of legit free music sites like last fm etc which are funded via advertising & subscription revenue.

    Yeah, but I don't know of many that will let you download the music for use on an MP3 player for free
  • Any of these do?

    To download MP3s onto an MP3 player? Last.FM is a music streaming (radio) service.
  • I've downloaded a few songs here in the past couple of days. I hope I'm not in trouble now:

    I save the streamed mp3 to my PC hard drive then transfer it to my mp3 player.
