So far ya'll mentioned grokster, BearShare, and KaZaA. Are these free? Do they all let other people "see" files in you computer? How does it work?

Ya gotta go to a yahoo.com search or someplace and search. You can download form there, or try
www.downloads.com. They might be there too. Download and install. Then search for the mucic you want. You set up in the preferences for how much of your hard drives others can see. Its usually set to default with is 0 security, so you'll wanna dothat first. Then download. But before you can burn onto a CD to listen in your car, you gotta convert from .mp3 format (which is what online music is in) to .wav format, which is what your car CD player can hear. Often the mp3 to wav converter is on the bruning software, liek Roxio or something. Or you can download it off of downloads.com too. so download, convert, then burn. Remember, mp3 is a compressed format, so when you convert, you are actually making an uncompresed copy. When you are done burnign, delete the wav fiel off your computer, or you'll fill up your hard drive in NO time. wav files are about 10x larger than their compressed counterparts. Good luck.
