Downloading music has changed many times over the past 10 years or so. Some music could only be played on some devices. Some music seemed free, but then became better known for costing people thousands of dollars in law suites. Today, the biggest source of legally downloadable music is iTunes. For iPod owners, this is the most direct and easiest way to get your music. However, there is a great alternative for both iPod and non-iPod users alike.
