Well _theoretically_ the best place would be someplace free like **KAZAA** but that’s illegal and this board isn’t for discussions of that nature. You better try someplace like [mp3.com](http://mp3.com) where you pay for it.

The majority of song downloads involve copyright infringement. We here at the SDMB take intellectual property rights very seriously and do not permit threads that are likely to facilitate stealing. This thread is closed.
