Free music is a thing of the past. Initially, sites like Napster and Win/MX took advantage of a lack of legal guidance for online file sharing, but that door is closed. In fact, the courts have found in favor of record labels who sue individuals for downloading and sharing illegal music files over the internet. The only "free" way to get music for your iPod is to rip it from a CD. If a friend of yours would like to buy the CD and let you rip it to your iPod, that's your business, but it is still illegal. iTunes is a great resource for music, movies, and other media content, and it's not that expensive. I think it should be cheaper than it is, since your not getting any of the packaging, liner notes, or physical ownership of a disk, but for online music sites, it's still the cream of the crop. You can probably still find a source for illegal music downloads if you are willing to put the effort into finding a site, but most have been shut down as a result of legal entanglements.
If you can afford the iPod, you can afford to purchase music for it the legal way. At the very minimum, you can copy your existing CD collection to the device.

"Been There" is right on with his answer. Some other additional information that you should know is, if you go to iTunes, you can only use that music on an iPod.
If you want something more diverse, use www.Source4media.com, powered by Burn Lounge 1.0. You don't have to buy an iPod in order to listen to digital music. There are many more players out there, that work just as well, but aren't as pricey.
If you visit Cnet.com, there is news of a new technology that will unlock some of these issues, but until that time, I wouldn't subscribe to the monopoly of iPods and iTunes.
