yes and no, its reasonably safe if you have an up to date virus scanner, if you find a lot of different files but they are the same size , chances are its a virus or trojan etc. . .
i use it, but you have to be careful

YES. IF YOU GO TO DOWNLOADS.COM THEY HAVE A VERSION ON THERE THAT IS SAFE. THATS WHERE I GOT MINE AND I HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH VIRUSES OR ANYTHING. ITS UNDER AUDIO AND VIDEO SOFTWARE. ITS VERY SIMPLE AND EASY TO USE TOO. ITS GREAT!

You can get viruses from it. I scan everything I download before I open it.

maybe. but iTunes is better because it's a lot simple to use and if you get an ipod you have to download you iTunes onto it. and it only cost one dollor per song. but you can also import your own cds on it. and it's free to download itunes
