    itunes is only 79p for most tracks, sounds pretty cheap to me...
    You won't get free downloads legally, nor should you in my opinion - I'm all for supporting the music industry.

    try play.com .. DRM free - you can burn them to disc etc .. if you loose them in the future you can re-download them - no special software needed either

    You can get lots of free downloads legally. Just not usually well known chart acts.

    Just google free legal mp3
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    You can actually. Lots of bands provide free downloads on their own websites.

    Of course they do, but you don't get to choose them. I thought it prudent to say, as a colleague of mine is convinced that she uses a website that legally gives her as many downloads of her choice as she likes for £5 a month. As far as I am aware, that's not the case. Websites can try to convince you you can have a clear conscience whilst still stealing on your behalf.
