Based on your question I assume you are not looking for radio played music for free...(I have a hard time believing anything with the name kazaa in it is going to be legal, that user is just spamming the yahoo answers system, look at all his/her answers, he/she has been reported.)
So...check out the alternative/independent scenes
http://music.download.com/ is brought to you by CNET.
http://www.daytrotter.com/ as recommended by WIRED.
If you DO wish to pay you are going to have to look at mp3 download sites as that is pretty much the only legal but not drm'ed route....
emusic is a good choice.
Don't forget that most DRM'ed music CAN be burned to disc and then re ripped in a non DRM format for play on your mp3 player.
If you wish to do that then iTunes or URGE or Walmart or Connect will all suffice.

Don't mean to sound discouraging, but good luck trying to find something. For most of the big music labels, you can only purchase DRM music. Sites like e-music, as the first poster suggested above, offer only DRM-free music from the smaller independent labels, which are usually emerging artists. If you want a large selection of today's popular music, you won't find it at e-music. And the other sites like Rhapsody and other subscription services have DRM music. I did find one Russian site that sold DRM-free music - I can't remember the details, but they claimed to be legal because they were selling outside the U.S. They're now being sued, I believe, so I stayed away from them.
One option you have is to get a subscription service, then record the music as it's played from your sound card. Often, the software that comes with your sound card will have this capability - find the program on your PC that allows you to record from a microphone, but just change the record input to "what u hear." Reminds me of the days of recording radio onto cassette tapes, but it works. You can also purchase audio recording software that does this, e.g. SoundTaxi is a popular one.
