bittorrent* to download torrents - best for albums and movies.
Once you have downloaded bittorrent* you can simply use google to search for specific music.
[eg "torrents Kings of Leon" in the search box gives me 174,000 results.]
*or utorrent, BitL ...[text shortened]... re. It's the crap you download that MAY have. You just need to take precautions. No problemo.

You could convert them to .wav files with MacFLAC if you are using a Mac.

I use flac files in Windows XP but I may have done some tinkering first.

If you're downloading songs you can usually check first which format they are in to save you the trouble though.

I had been using soulseek for years but recently I've moved entirely onto BitTorrents. A bit more complicated than soulseek but much faster and no frustration when working with soulseek's sometimes unreliable search function and connectivity.

Torrents are completely free whereas Rapidshare users can only download a certain amount of Megabytes per hour unless they pay.
