I have an ipod that I won just by checking out at Safeway (wouldn't have bought one, probably) and I've been able to fill it with quite a bit of legally downloaded free material. If you surf music label websites and bands' websites, there are plenty of complete songs offered by the artists and labels. So for me the ipod is a way to discover new and obscure music that I probably wouldn't hear otherwise, and most of it is pretty good. In fact, that's how I doscovered Nightwish - a free download of End Of All Hope from a label's site.
