Don't know if there are any? And you'd be no less likely to get a virus on these websites especially if they're FREE, because they'd be highly illegal.
 
Re: download music!!

I have heard people say quite earnestly that its actually not illegal under Irish law to download music. These people also say its only illegal to upload it! Any truth in this ?

Oh No! - I don't know how many threads have been started on this. :eek: I thought what you said is right about it being only illegal to upload. But so many ppl beg to differ and we'd be here all year arguing it out. Just be careful where you get your files from and treat the net as if there's an CIA agent watching over your shoulder all the time. Then you should be ok! ;)

Yeah guess its better to err on the safe side ;)

However one strategy which can be used for anyone seeking music is type into google something like : Rapidshare + 'name of song.mp3'
This type of search works for many upload services.Theres a lot out there.
 
If you have broadband, I would recommend youTube which is full of music videos. I also use the free program 'Videora iPod converter' which will download and convert the youTube flash file automatically and conviently into a mp4 file. Finally I use 'Super' program which will remove video and convert mp4 into an mp3 and also reduce file size. The 'Super' program is in the top 100 free downloads somewhere in this site.

I read in the Independent last year a quote from an Irish Judge saying it's legal to download, and legally ambiguous to upload.
 
SUPERsetup.exe is about 27MB. Incidently this just happens to be the first mp4 to mp3 converter that I happened to download and it worked for me. If anyone knows or recommends any better program I be grateful. I would completely recommend the Videora program as it is great once you get use to it.

I don't think you'd find a better program it's just excellent isn't it?
I use it to convert .flv (youtube) to other formats.

sorry but im not an expert so a little help is needed..
how do i download the video fron youtube into 'Videora iPod converter'??:confused:
 
Go to , download & full install. When installed, click on desktop icon to open. Click on download tab (between convert & library). Click on YouTube link middle of page & YouTube home page should open. When one has an open video in flash box that one wants to download, click on green arrow download box (below & to right of progress tab). Mp4 will be automatically downloaded & appears in default folder MyDoc/Converted Videos/iPod/H264. This can take a few minutes.You may need to uncheck "Add converted videos to iTunes library" in videora settings. Videora works on the Internet Explorer engine so make sure that abode flashbox plugin is installed & you may also need Quicktime player to view mp4. There is also a help page somewhere.
Although YouTube has a fantastic collection of music, you will find that the sound level & quality varies quite a lot.
