So I've recently got Tom Jones singing It's not Unusual stuck in my head (all you snickering people shut-up [Razz]

) and I was hoping there was a free (legal) version online, but I'm not to adept at looking for it, and so far have come up empty. Does anyone have any websites or search tips or anything for finding free music online?

Amazon.com Free Music Downloads

Good place, but it doesn't seem to have the song you want.

you can't be that computer stupid and be on this message forum.. err i guess maybe so..

But a sogn generally runs 3-5 Mb depending on the encoding.. Hardrives usually are around 60 Gb which is 60,000 mb..

i know thats not exact or whatnot but its a good guidline

Sure you can. My wife is savvy enough to send e-mail, surf around online, terrorize eBay, and even do some stuff in Photoshop I haven't figured out how to do yet. But she doesn't have any idea how large MP3s are because she's never downloaded one before.

Everyone's got to start out sometime, no reason to jump on them when they do.

Thanks, Chris.

I think the reference was to

rather than the size of MP3 files. And in all honesty I agree with Lanfear.

OK. I still don't.

Ignorance is where everyone starts as a base state, and it's treatable. Especially when the person is aware of their own ignorance and openly asks to be taught. I simply do not see the point to insulting that person. You might smile to yourself and think what you like before posting the helpful information that followed, but why take the extra effort to post how a stupid a question it was? What does it gain, besides embarassing the questioner?

What a numb skull question.
