downloading mp3s

Most every legal site is going to make you download some sort of control software - even Amazon requires you to do so.

really, that sucks. i havent actually tried it yet but i know walmart.com sells them and i didnt think they had control software.

kinda a noob to this stuff but once i download i have it on my hard drive to make as many hard copies of it as i want, right?

Rhapsody does have a java based client that doesn't require you to download anything.

As long as you aren't selling them out of your trunk

[nightrunner]

no, no just want to keep a copy on my hard drive then maybe make a few mixed cds and have them on a usb thumbdrive and probably try to put them on a ipod if i ever get one

I use Amazon. Their software is tiny.

Actually, it depends on the license, but most licenses allow you to make one (1) copy of the file or media as a backup.

I buy from Walmart. You can do whatever you want with the song, as long as it is just for your personal use. They did have a download utility that you install on your computer, but it does not have anything to do with the licensing or playing of the file after you get it. I think they have an alternate download method that does not require the utility.
