Im a bit behind the times in this regard. What is the best client and also the best websites for downloading music?
Ideally the not paying anything variety.

For individual tracks:
Shareaza, same as limewire except no adware or spyware and a bigger network.
For albums:
Bitcomet and use the torrent sites.

The site I pointed out is for listenening, only downloading by the tech savvy. People have been sharing music since pre-cassete players etc. It'll never stop no matter what the medium. |

As I understand it is copyright infringement and not actually theft... Robert? It looks like songza just grabs the flvs from youtube too. |

Genius.
Songza, when you select a result gives the option to buy the song with the click-through to Amazon (obviously getting the site a kickback).
It's quite a site when your hunting for music.
