Tips & Warnings
Make a determination as to how much downloading you will be doing. This will help you figure out what the best plan is and help you save money in the long run.
Read the fine print. Sometime when you buy an album or song, you are only allowed to move it to a certain number of devices. Once you have hit that number, you will no longer be allowed to play it on any other computer or device.
You may be tempted to try to download the songs you need for free. This is illegal and can cause you to accrue a huge fine.
