"Mix & Burn Inc. has developed a laptop-size, touch-screen kiosk called a "Music Tablet" where consumers can download from a catalog of more than 200,000 songs spread among 200 music genres. The kiosks, which are sold to retailers, will appear in two area stores in coming weeks.

At $10 for the first seven songs and $1 per song after that, it's not as cheap as free, but it is legal. And the service addresses a fundamental problem with how the music industry sells its product: People don't like paying $15 for a 10-song album when they want only two of the tracks."
