Looking for a good mp3 download site

Anyone know of a good place to download music? Like Napster, Winmx, etc. Looking for something without spyware.

Thanks

WinMX is spyware free. Kaaza Lite is supposed to be too, but I have run across more than one machine that it has caused issues with and won't touch it with my enemies computers.

Hey Hal,

What "issues" are you referring to? I've been using Kazaa Lite for a while and have also noticed a couple "weird" things happening. Thanks.

Severe internet slowdowns, loss of connections, customers complaining that they have totally lost their internet connection. But it's an awesome virus sharing.....er I mean file sharing community.

Hmm... the only problem I've run across is the internet slowdown. I'm on a 56K, so any download slows me down a little.

Viruses? Luckily I haven't run across any in my experience.
