Hey guys and girls,

got a Mac at home and been trying to find some program  
to download mp3s off the net.  
All the stuff I have come across are for made for using  
with a PC ☹

Heres my question:

Is there a reliable program out there for Macs?  
Also - there is a song I am looking for by Polo Montanez  
that is called “Un monton de Estrellas” …  
Any ideas?

Thanks,

-T

The board administration permits discussion of the ethics of file-sharing, but doesn’t like it when people point to particular software. I fear a mod will be coming by pretty soon.
