Just got a MP3 player.

[Candyman5]

Where can I go to download songs to put on my MP3? This is my first MP3 I ever owned.

Anyone?

If it's an iPod, us iTunes. If not, use Amazon. Amazon has been cheaper lately anyway, so use Amazon either way.

Rip CDs. Depending on what type of music you like, a lot of smaller market labels have free mp3s of their artists to grab. Like Extreme suggested, Amazon is good too and you don't have to fool around with DRM.

RIP the CD's you already own, and use iTunes to buy more music if you want it.

I should add as a note - iTunes doesn't use DRM anymore, they dropped it.

Personally, I try to stay away from iTunes because of the format they use- you can't put it on a different device (like the Zune) so you're stuck with the iPod to play those songs.

Take note, this is false too.

You can use iTunes to convert the songs to several different formats - ACC, AIF, Apple Lossless, MP3 and WAV.

You'll have absolutely no problem putting the songs on ANY music device.

Best thing would be to try it for yourself and see how you like it - a lot of people will give you false information that could mislead you (as we've already got two false statements in this very thread).

Where exactly is this option in iTunes with store bought media?

To clarify, I have Audioslave albums (bought from iTunes store) but under their tracks its listed as 'Protected AAC audio file'. I can not burn that album to an MP3 format on a CD; "is an iTunes Store File and can not be burned to an MP3 CD." They will not go over to my Zune program.

Right now I am using Its worked fine for me so far. Whatever music or saying you can find on youtube, you can make into a MP3. Its free also.

Candyman,

I had to delete the site. That site illegally creates MP3s.

Re: Just got a MP3 player.

Purevolume.com has a lot of music, some of which you can download for free.

Select the format you want to use in the preferences, then right click on the songs you want and click "convert to [x]", voila.

If you bought songs before they removed DRM all you have to do is burn the songs to a CD as "Music" - not MP3, then Rip them back to iTunes as whatever format you want, and the copy protection is gone.

Songs bought now, though, won't have DRM anymore. But just do that for your old songs that do and you're set; then keep the CD as backup somewhere.

Good deal, thanks for the info.
