There are websites you can do it on, IIRC.
But it'll cost you.
The BEST way to get "free" music is to buy a cheap 5 dollar radio at Wal-Mart. You have to put up with ads and can only listen to relatively popular music, but if you must have any music, buy it and tune it to a station you like.

All the pay services suck, because they aren't even attempting to compete with what's available for free. Obviously, they can't beat free for a price, but they COULD beat 128kbps for quality, as well as providing better download times and more reliable downloads.
They could also provide you with things that Kazaa can't: alternative versions of songs, detailed information about songs, and a guarantee that you will get the full, accurate, high-quality version of exactly the song you want.
I would pay to know what I'm getting, and to get it at a higher quality. Unfortunately, all pay music services on the internet right now seem to be run by people who don't really want to attract customers.

We've been through this -- you can use any media player in Windows that uses DirectShow -- and I don't know of any that don't.

Certainly, you'd use the music library feature in Winamp or, say, WMP.

It certainly does -- without warning, too.

I was referring to the companies, which are notoriously litiguous *******s with anything like FORMATS. You made it sound like it being a Microsoft format is a bad thing, then Microsoft's format is technically superior and cheaper.  And Apple and Dolby both have long histories of being legal *******s, Microsoft is almost always on the defending end of legal issues.

How is it lame? Apple users. 
You never get that Apple copies everything from someone else, but when Apple does it it's suddenly a first just because they hype it up like no tomorrow. First GUI, first digital music service, first 64-bit PC. Have they truly been first in anything?

It's hardly pathetic, it's the harsh truth.
AAC will see little to no adoption in the market because it costs a lot and there's no need for it. iTunes has died off pretty much, its sales are not even worth noting. As I predicted, it was only the novelty of it that led to an early success. It took a week to make 1M sales and 4 months to make another.
