Most p2p .mp3s don't seem to be of that high quality. I mean, if you aren't an audiophile then that's ok, but if you want high quality stuff I would use .torrents. Torrents seem to either use lossless compression like FLAC, or high bit rate mp3s. The only time I use limewire or other p2p is when I just need one song to learn how to play. You shouldn't have to go out and buy the album just for a 3 minute long song.

-- edit --

I forgot to mention that Limewire and other p2p programs are legal, it's just what most people do with them that's not. Some independant artists release their songs onto p2p networks to get their stuff out there.

-- Ehh... another edit... --

If you are concerned about legal action taken against you, don't be. They won't go after you unless you have 1000+ songs you are distibuting. My suggestion is if you have 1000+ songs, download a song, let it upload for a day or two, then stop sharing it.
