theyre the only place that has it.

I have, but it has been awhile. I thought it was just a regular mp3. Let's you transfer it unlimited and burn it 5 times, or something. But that was probably over a year ago, so it may be different.

worth it for one song?

It was for me. Seems like the system was pretty easy to use. I think I burned it, deleted the original, and was able to import it as a regular file with no restrictions.

it's asking for me to install some wal-mart program.
did you have to do the same?
i don't want to install anything unless absolutely necessary.

Bought a razor or something about a year ago, came with 3 free downloads from Walmart. Yes, I did have to install thier software which worked with Windows Media Player, everything else was easy. And regular MP3 files.

Are you sure it's not WMA? I thought MP3 files could not be copy-protected.
