Both good suggestions, thank you but I'm not interested in subscribing and only need one song.

I tried Gnutella but it was loaded with viruses.

[pietermann]

if you only need 1 song you can do this:

1) search for a good clean version of the song you want on YouTube
2) copy the complete URL and past it here: http://www.video2mp3.net/
3) download/save the file on your computer

Works great every time!

Ah napster.....fond memories there. I think I had about 1000 songs all list now as apple makes it impossible to transfer that kind of content.

You can get a free version of spotify with commersials between the songs.

Mon, you can download only one song from iTunes, no problem.

I'm not trying to avoid paying a dollar or three for a song but rather the task of downloading a program.

I tried with the link above and messed up big time.

Did I tell you Mon is cheap?

He only listen to free songs.

[Jocke]

If you don't have it yet Mon, just PM me the title and I will fix it for you.

Mon, itunes is a great option imho at downloading individual songs.

You do need the software, and an account though.


Download itunes

If I want it, of course I want it.

Question is if you can get it to me as a MP3 cause I need to burn it to CD?

I don't think you can do that with Itunes?

Last time I did a system restore was 2005.

^I agree about trying for free tunes being not worth the risk, when it's a cool $.99 for paid.

I've never done one on a mac, unless it has involved selling my old computer.

Yep, my last restore was definitely not on a Mac. It's not even fun to look back at that environment.

Kickass Torrents is very good... This one is good for any TV shows I missed.

ISOHUNT is ok but too many fake files

[Psmith]

amazon.com ?

You can buy individual songs for download at low cost

[Thatguy]

The problem with a lot of free songs nowadays is that they come with a free computer virus. Save the hassle and get iTunes.

That's a complete load of nonsense.

That's what you get when you're doing wrong


Mon, I wish I could help you get that song without iTunes, but I suppose it's not legal to do so.

However, if you decide to install iTunes and make an account, a whole new world will open, and it's def not as hard as you think it might be.

[masterserg]

Amazon mp3. Easiest and fastest. It requires a completely innocuous 30 second download to manage the downloads, so to speak.

[conrail]

Just type the artist/song and the word mp3 in Google - usually one of the top two or three search results you can download from. skullmp3 or beemp3 are names that come to mind. Otherwise just torrent the album.

itunes = yuck.
