but seeing all the problems scares me..i downloaded this so my 11 year old granddaughter could download music for her mp3 player..is this going to be too complicated..should we just go somewhere where they have the 99cent d/l? i want easy and up to date music..anyone have a suggestion?

I've used LimeWire for a while now, and I prefer it to any other download platform I've used thus far. Problems are pretty rare given the number of users--I think this is your best bet.
