Good man 8)

The itune shop is the easiest. But if you're using a different audio player to iTunes, then I guess you should look at alternatives. I don't know a whole lot about it, I think Amazon.com would do the trick?

Use iTunes to access the store, download the song, do with it what thou wilt.

Music from Apple only plays on Ipods and Itunes. I dont think will play on any player outside of those. I rip my music from most all the cd's I have, or try to go buy them from stores. Also buying used cd's and ripping them is great if you want to make a collection for an mp3. Most newer car stereos will play mp3's and I think also newer home cd/dvd players.

thanks man.. yeah.. aware of that stuff, but not so aware of how to get an mp3 online legitimately.. only after one track at this stage, but thought I'd do the honagabul thing and pay for it ;-)
I'm not about to install itunes unless I bang it onto a virtual machine.. not having it on any computer I actually 'use' :|

What's the song you're after? A forumite might be able to "sell" it to you...
