downloading music

As the OP I just wanted to check in and say thanks for the info so far. I have no issue paying per song or a monthly fee as long as I can do anything I want with it after I download it. Per the suggestions so far I am checking our Spotify and Pirate Bay.

Still looking if there are others. I am surprised there aren't new music stores that will let you come in pay some $ and create your own thumb drives. I would only be a temporary need until people that grew up with no records, cassettes and CD's all know how to get their music at home.
