It's easy to install and you can find every song you'll ever want to hear. Be careful. The RIAA has already successfully sued 20,000 people for illegal downloading.
I download music that I already own on CD. Many of the CDs I own were records that I had previously purchased on LP. So I paid for most of my music twice. Doesn't matter. In the eyes of the RIAA, I am taking food from the mouths of rock stars by downloading music I've already purchased in other formats.
A better alternative is Frostwire.
No adware/spyware problems.
Geez! LimeWire is a terrific way to install all sorts of malware on your computer, plus, as you’ve pointed out, it makes one a possible target for legal action.
Why not just go with some of the legal, commercial suggestions like iTunes. Because I don’t like the whole DRM thing to begin with, when I download songs, I get them from Amazon.com, but I’ve also used Walmart in the past as well.
However, you will need some software to convert the songes from mp3 format to playable on a standard audio CD player and burn the CDs. But I think that iTunes will handle all that for you. From what I’ve heard, it’s pretty simple to use, though I’ve never used it.

Jazz music has hit-or-miss results.
Pop music is easy to find.
Let’s see. There were 45’s, albums, 8-track tapes, cassettes then CD’s. I have paid the RIAA a number of times for the same songs. I am finished.
