<p>besides itunes, since it cost .99/song, where else can you legally download songs for an ipod and that doesnt charge per song</p>
<p>wait...you want a legal download site that doesn't charge money? I'm afraid you are caught between a rock and a hard place. Free songs = illegal site. Unless someone knows something I don't.</p>
<p>You can get indie songs for free legally. I'm not sure of any specific site though. Maybe someone else will chime in.</p>
<p>I use Kazaa to download songs. Hope this helps.</p>
<p>i dont mean for free, i just mean places that charge like a monthly fee and no per song fee</p>
<p>Could get a Napster account and transfer your songs to eventually fit onto your iPod. Apple likes to make things difficult though -.-;</p>
<p>theres this place called allofmp3.com
its a russian site, so the songs end up being like 5-20 cents per song. and like$1.50 or $2 for an album, sometimes less or more, it depends on the popularity</p>
<p>the ONLY negative is that they get new stuff like a week and soemtimes even a month later than it comes out here</p>
<p>$10 lasted me like 3 months.</p>
<p>If by "legal" you mean "illegal", then there are plenty of places!</p>
<p>I second Napster. Not sure if it's compatible with iPod. Pretty sure it has to be, though.</p>
<p>It wasn't when I used it. Oh, and I would caution against Napster, because you're basically renting the songs. Once you stop paying the monthly fee they are unplayable.</p>
<p>You're joking! That's absolutely ridiculous. Forget Napster lol.</p>
<p>Has anyone used the Realplayer Rhapsody service?</p>
<p>try limewire i heard somewhere it's legal</p>
<p>Lol I'm pretty sure it's legal in Papua New Guinea.</p>
<p>Next time you're in a random foreign airport, download like mad!!! :)</p>
<p>Ruckus.com</p>
<p>There is actually a site that college students can download MP3's for free from. You can't burn them onto CD's but you can put them on your IPOD.</p>
<p>I forget the name of it, all you need is a student ID. My friend uses it - I haven't, because I don't download music...but the songs downloaded in like 3 seconds.</p>
<p>100% totally free for college students - just need the student ID.</p>
<p>Okay, I just found out from them and it is Ruckus, like the previous poster mentioned.</p>
<p>are you sure you can put the songs on your ipod for ruckus?</p>
<p>Yeah I'm pretty sure that's illegal, it's called file sharing, just because you need a student ID doesn't mean it's legal.</p>
<p>You have to pay for ruckus if you want to transfer songs, but there are ways around it.....</p>
<p>It's only illegal if you use it for profit, as far as I know. Limewire pro charges a one-time $18.99 fee for legal downloading.</p>
<p>No, it's not illegal. </p>
<p>Ruckus is a "legal" downloading site/software for college students.</p>
