ipod mini downloads

[puddin_n_pie]

Hi peeps, I think I have done something quite silly but hey, maybe you can help me - I have ordered an ipod mini from the USA (I have been assured that all I will need is a uk to america adapter.)  I have since been told that you have to pay 75p for each song you download?! Is this true & is it possible to download tunes from a program such as "limewire" that I use to make CD'Ss from?  I am very worried about this now as it has cost me alot of money I shouldnt have spent in a moment of impulse... I have no idea how to transfer songs from my computer onto the ipod - I have a packard Bell PC with Windows XP - I have no idea what all this firewall / cables isb ports stuff is all about either!? Thanks Guys!

Yeah, technically you're supposed to legally download song from like itunes and legal download programs, but personally, Ive just stuck with my current download program, winmx which is free, it doesnt really matter what program you use to be honest..
