What programs do you use to download music?

Limewire? iTunes?

Limewire currently. I used to use Morpheus, but it would ALWAYS freeze up!

sanluisfreak, doesn't it cost money to get songs from Windows Media Player?

Nope! seriously, no cash at all...I was using wmp before I even ever heard of limewire or any of those guys.

..then I started talking to ppl online, and they were like ***? seriously?

maybe its just the wmp I've got, the one that comes w/my comp, but its ALL free! Of course, song selection isnt that good...the more common the song, the better your chances, but heres how...assuming its the same wmp format:

open wmp
click on media guide
search for artist or song...you'll have to do some looking, oftentimes, to find what youre looking for...listen to them first also
click on whatever one, an audio, not video
wait for it to load and buffer, usually not that long
once it finishes the download, go to copy to device (or cd...but their cd burner is SLOW AS S.HIT)
copy music (if this is what you're using it for)

---and there you go.
It will also be saved to your library (and if not, go to file and add to library)
