alrighty. so i'm going boy band crazy right now and i'm really wanting to get n'sync, bsb, spice girls, etc. songs!!! i haven't used limewire before (i've been getting all my songs on different sites online), and i was wondering if it's a good idea to download it? i just bought a new computer and i don't want to screw it up.

Personally I don't think you can get viruses from limewire, if you don't go crazy and download the most obvious candidates for software, watch out for songs that are more than 4mb. Generally a 3-4 minute mp3 file is about 3.5mb, so don't go downloading the ones that are in the 250-300mb range if they're not supposed to be albums.
