I think you might find itunes to be the easiest option. Then you just copy the tracks from your itunes music folder to your device.
Have you read the T&C for iTunes?
I was also looking for legitimate MP3 downloads, thought I'd try iTunes, read the T&C, cancelled out, went elsewhere.
Like freitasm, I have used 7Digital
Care to expand? I tried reading but fell asleep.
Once on my computer Apple wouldn't have a clue what I then use the file for, much less care I suspect. My understanding based on NZ law is that I have purchased the right to listen to the song, I can format shift it to use on other personal devices, but I must retain the original.
Yes it is super easy to change the format to Mp3 if one needs to. Quality change is imperceptible on regular consumer products or unless you are an audiophile IMO.
+ 1 for iTunes from me.
Lazy is such an ugly word, I prefer to call it selective participation

IIRC the killer for me was that I was allowed to make only three copies sequentially, only one used at a time.
So after only two upgrade cycles of my home PC suddenly Apple say I can't use that MP3 anymore - in other words I'm not buying a copy of the music, they're just giving me a limited license to use it, I gain no ownership of the product I've paid them money for.
Now, I don't know that they can actually enforce that, but I'm not willing to do business on that basis.
The other sites sell me the MP3, and I can do with it what I wish within the laws of NZ - for example I have only one copy of each work in a usable state at any one time, although the original '.zip' file is backed up several places
BTW, since one of my children 'borrowed' my iPod, I uninstalled iTunes from my main PC, and can't say my life is much the poorer for it.
