And technically all the songs are legal. I refused to use those download services like napster.

But I did have some unique ways of finding music outside of the great sales they have from Amazon MP3 page. Like when I was dog-sitting for a friend for a week. Each night I went home and took about 10 of her CDs she owned and uploaded them. Plus my local library has a massive CD collection you can check out like a book. And finally there was a time that I swapped my Ipod Classic with my friend's Ipod Classic so I got a bunch from him.
