New to this mac stuff!!!! help:) downloading confuses me

[ashley3]

i use to download movies and music on my old computer a couple of years ago and it was so simple, but now i dont even know where to start.
- first for music, what websites are the best to use? do i only get to download albums or can i download one song at a time? also what file for music to i download?
-second for movies, What websites are the best for them? and what kind should i be downloading. should i only be getting avi's or what?
To me i have been searching the web and asking friends that do own macs but when i try it on my own i get totally confused. If anyone could help, i would be super stoked

It is the same for Mac OS X as in Windows. Pirating media is not that different anyway.
But

Warez/Serials/Keys.
Do not post software serial numbers or keys or refer people to specific websites, software, or techniques whose purpose is to break or bypass software licensing methods, distribute cracks, or obtain or use commercial software or media in violation of its license and/or for copyright violation.

You can use iTunes to buy and download music. Either full albums or 1 at a time. You can also download music from Amazon.

Again, iTunes and Amazon. Also try Netflix for a decent selection of streaming movies.
