If I ever bought an MP3 player ( ogg player ? ) ,
I'd probably check out LimeWire.COM .
But I like radio a lot , Lots of good songs and variety .
And streaming is not a option for me ,
I like to keep my computer turned off ,
and my cheap-ass ISP doesn't approve of streaming .

Well you could still use Limewire. You can download the basic program
for free. And it's an ftp based program, not a streaming program. You
put in a search term like "Pink Floyd" and it goes and finds those mp3
files, and then downloads them to your hard disk. You can play mp3s
with plenty of free software and just hook your Senns to the computer.
You can set it up to search overnight while you're sleeping and then
have a bunch of mp3 to listen to the next day.
You should try it just to see what I'm talking about with search. The
Limewire engine continues to search for as long as you let it. It's not
a one shot click and search like Google. It's like watching the planes
arrive on a schedule terminal, you can see it going around, evaluating
the quality of servers and then downloading the files based on your
charateristics.
Legally, all you have to do is to not allow other people to download the
mp3s from your computer. It's peer 2 peer, so you are just a node on
the Gnuetella network, both client and server. The future....
