>>>I have a friend who is looking for an MP3 player for her daughter. What are some options with downloading music? Obviously, Ipod\Itunes but 99 cents a pop can get a little expensive, especially for a young child who's tastes change constantly. Can anybody recommend any subscription-based players or plans?

>>Limewire. Pay the $20 per year and get the pro version. You can also set filters so you can avoid virus stuff. There may be better ones for kids, and I've had a few people here say that they had problems with it, but I've used it for a year or so know with no issues.

>Yeah, I use Limewire, but my understanding is that even while you are paying for it, it's still illegal.

The degree of risk involved in being an individual downloader (actually my daughters) is one I can live with.
