Go to a music download site like Amazon or iTunes (listed under the additional resources below) and purchase the mp3 file you want at a discount rate.

In the past you could download music free, but you would easily get caught as you were downloading the direct file from another person and they tracked your computers IP address. Now there are torrent mp3 files that can be downloaded from many users that have the song on their computer and are sharing them. Download the free utorrent software from the website listed below.

Click the music torrent files you want to download and they will open up in the utorrent program. Once you are done downloading music in the utorrent program, right-click the mp3 file you downloaded and click remove. This removes your computer from sharing the file to other online via torrent and you are 99% less likely to get caught.
