A bit more info would be nice.

What music do you have and where did you get it from?

What MP3 player do you have as this may dictate where you can download music from.

Check that your MP3 player supports DRM protected downloads first.

If you are intending on buying albums then you are better off buying cds. 79p is about as cheap as you are going to get unless you are going for a subscription service but that only pays off if you intend to make use of a lot of downloads. As for free, unless there are unsigned bands etc giving their music for promo then no. Certainly not legally.

You should be aware that all 100% legal sites will heavily restrict what you can do with "your" music. However buying the CD then using something like CDex will give you better quality, freedom of use, a backup (the CD) and its cheaper for albums too.

Single tracks will be OK if that's all you're after, but 79p/track is the going rate.

There's no point paying £7.99 for a downloaded album when you can pick up the CD for the same price and basically do whatever you want with it.

I don't know if Sony MP3's play DRM files or not. Can you give us the model?

If it doesn't play DRM files, you'll have to f*rt around a bit by either burning to CD's and ripping them or finding software that can remove the DRM.

Supports popular digital audio compression formats: ATRAC / MP3 / WMA (non DRM) / WAV

You won't be able to transfer them straight to your MP3 player. You'll have to do one of the methods above before they'll play.
