What sites can you download music from for an iPod. I have been using iTunes but at 79p each it soon mounts up.

    Limewire's pretty good, and the law is that you are only breaking the law if you are offering music for upload.

    easyiest way to do that is download limeire and take all your downloaded files out, or download limeire pro through limewire normal, install it and select not to share anything, means you dont upload half downloaded files either.

    As far as i'm aware.. the law is as follows..

    You can download any track you want, as long as you own the original. So for example the download could be for Backup purposes.

    If you dont own the original track, then you have to delete the download within 24 hours. So in this case you would be downloading to see if it was worth paying for.

    But the most imporantant fact of all is.... who gives a fuck, the record companys make far more money than they should anyway!

    Basically you will try to download a song, say Madonna - and then you get Tatu! thats what happened to me! but the title said it was Madonna..... get my drift? its quite rare though...... you can download films as well which is cool!

    about 0.1% of the time you get a dodgy song.

    its easy to know what songs are dodgy awell, leave all .asx files alone on limewire, most zip files aswell found there only cause problems

    That's not. There's no such excuse for downloading copyrighted materials.

    You are only breaching copyright if you upload songs for others to download. Mostly because that's the only way they can catch you.

    One of the songs that I purchased from iTunes is refusing to play. It has played fine up until today. Anyone have any ideas what the problem may be?


    ETA: It is actually all of my iTune purchases that are not working. What has happened?
