MP3 Tracks For Siny EricssonK750i

OK so I must be thick! Having got myself a K750i I'm trying to find a web site where I can download tracks which I can then transfer straight to the mobile(pay per track not expensive annual membership or membership sites that just direct you to another site).
I've tried tesco downloads they are WMA and cannot be converted to MP3 due to inbuilt protection. Even Napster (who don't seem to have direct access to Napster Light unless you first sign up to the annual membership scheme) say that their tracks have DRM built in and the K750i system will presumably not accept the supported formats from what I've read.
Any successful K750i/MP3 user out there with a useful tip for me please?

Yes,

Put a CD in the drive of a PC, run Win Media player and rip it to MP3. Then transfer to your phone with IR, A USB cable or Bluetooth.

Fair enough you have the outlay of getting a USB cable or a Bluetooth dongle (£10-15) but you can then upload/download to your phone as much as you want for free. and can also backup your photos/contacts etc from your phone as well

Thanks for that, though I already know how to do that and have Bluetooth Dongle, what I'm looking for is a web site where I can download tracks I don't already own on CD so that I can download them in a suitable format that the K750i can use i.e. MP3, MP4, 3GP, or WAV (16kHz maxium sample rate).

Legally, there's none that I can think of that don't have DRM protection.

So maybe I'm not as thick as I thought then! But then if there is no way a legally downloaded track (I expect to pay for it) can be converted to MP3 then not only are they missing out on a huge market but they are more likely to push MP3 users toward illegal copying ... Crazy!
