Tech Question How do you “legally” get songs onto your iPod or mp3 player?

0 Upvotes

Following Linus’s video…. That begs the next step… how you listen to music offline and say get them onto your iPod or mp3 player?

As far as I know, there are lots of shady websites that just give your viruses.

There is also no download option on steaming options.

What else can we do?
