I have bought a Creatvie Zen Vision M and I would like to download music and films but not sure where to start. There seems to be oceans of websites many requiring registration fees. Can anyone recommend a good, easy to use website compatable with the Zen Thanks
 
Why not just buy CDs (second hand if necessary) and rip them?

Are looking for free download sites? Most legal downloads will be for fairly niche stuff or new artists.
 
I have riped loads of Cds but I want to download material and good legal or illegal sites I dont mind paying, I assume it would be cheaper than buying Cds
 
There are several texisting hreads dealing with music download sites. I would not assume that legal downloads would necessarily be cheaper than buying the CD (especially discounted or second hand) and DIY ripping (which allows you flexibility with regard to bit rates/quality etc. too and a physical backup of the original sources).
 
I use downloads as a preview of an album or single then i go and buy the CDs online from cdwow.ie or cdworld.ie. Because i'd hate to buy an album with only one or two good songs on it.

Many people have neither the time nor the inclination to spend ages trawling through second-hand record stores. Having a searchable back-catalogue online makes a lot more sense for most people, plus you get to listen to samples prior to purchase on most download sites.
 
I know people who stored their whole catalog on their player and when it broke they lost the lot because they were not backing up. At least with the original CD you have an immediate backup.
 
It is highly unlikely that your pc or laptop and your creative are going to break at the same time. You have a back up of the downloads on your pc if your zen breaks or is stolen.

I think ClubMan meaned they deleted the files from their pc/laptop and only stored them on the player.
 
Is legalsounds fully legal and can Irish people purchase from this site as it appears to be a Russian site?

I doubt it. Their conditions of use say the following

I thought uploading music in Ireland was illegal while downloading is not (as long as you do it privately)? Or is it the other way round?

I would imagine that the website in question does not have permission to sell the copyright material in question, and it is illegal to download material without permission of the copyright owner?

I'm open to correction on that point.
