what is the best software to download free music?

I don't use it but I have heard of bearshare. I like to use torrents when downloading things from the internet. I don;t download music much, since I prefer to download movies.

use torrents, like thepiratebay.com

I used to work for Geek Squad and let me tell you the best program to download free music is no program. It is better to pay $1 per song than to have to pay us like $300 to remove a virus from your computer. I can say for certain that more than 75% of our viruses were from programs used to download freeware. Like limewire, bearshare, or ares they all carry viruses somewhere.
