Default OT - music downloads

OK peoples....I received an MP3 player and am looking for sources to DL music...free would be good. I realize that many of the original free sites are now charging. Is limewire the best deal out there? (39.00 flat fee for life.....unlimited DL's)

I am also wondering if there is a way to load CD's in my puter and then DL to the player...do I need extra software?

Thanks for any advice......

most music programs like windows media player allow you to load your mp3 players with your music you have already placed on your computer. yahoo music is another one that i have used as well.

I "heard" that if you use at bit torrent client such as "Utorrent" & a torrent site ( i swear i "heard" these were the good ones )
http://isohunt.com/
http://www.youtorrent.com/
you can ummm uhh illegally download all the music you want, as a matter of fact a "friend" of mine has about 200 gigs of ill gotten booty thanks to these sites. if you do use torrents just check when the window opens b4 you down load the files that they are .mp3 & not flac or ogg or .wav

if you get a program called "freerip" you can quickly & easily change cds to mp3, if you have any other ?'s pm me 'n i will consult with my "friend"

I haven't heard of that deal from Limewire.I have Limewire and all I pay for is supposed to be for better searching.After hearing about all the arrests on the sharing sites I try to stay away from them for music.
I have Superpass from Realplayer.I pay $59.95 a year and get $10 in free music credits each month, 1 free pre-assigned game each month, and use of all their radio stations.
