Ok, this is an educated guess.

These were the best and latest statistics i could get.

In September 2006, Steve Jobs announced that iTunes owned 88% of the legal music download market.

iTunes had 10,152,284 downloads a day on average, from 6 to 8 Billion downloads.

- so like it went from 6 to 8 billion downloads in like 200 days (10M x 200 = 2Billion)

A report released by the IFPI in 2009, stated that 95% of music downloads are illegal.

- so iTunes has 88% of this 5%

If we put that together......... 88% of 5%

The 5% of all music downloads is 11,536,686 a day

so the illegal market is....

230,733,727 illegal music downloads a day.... amazing huh? 230 Million a day.

So per minute thats........ 160,232 songs per minute

Is LimeWire illegal and if you get caught with it can you get arrested?

No, you would most likely not be arrested and just be fined for the amount of songs you downloaded e.g. if you downloaded about 1000 songs for Limewire you would be charged for those 1000 songs but if you downloaded 5 songs they wouldn't come after you basically the more songs you download illegally the more of a risk they would come after you and the more money you would be charged but Limewire itself is not perfectly legal except people who use Limewire need a license to be able to use it and ofcourse nobody is going to purchase a License when they can download it illegally so really it just depends on how many songs you downloaded but no you wouldn't get arrested.

How come when I burn an mp3 at 128 bitrate it sounds better then burning at 192 or higher?

It shouldn't. However, it mainly depends on where you get your songs from. Songs at 128 bitrate could sound great (most likely when legally downloaded) in comparison to songs at 192 (most likely when illegally downloaded) possibly because they were converted from a lower bitrate.

Can you listen to songs downloaded by orbit on iTunes?

Well first things first, downloading copyrighted songs for free is illegal. The only way to download songs to your iPod is throgh buying the tune online or from a store. Itunes uses a scanner to detect if it was legally purchased, if it isn't you will not be able to put the song on there. I suggest you stop downloading songs off Limewire because if you have so many songs and you get caught the average fee per song you illegally downloaded is $1,000 and the cost of the song. Not the best thing in the world buddy.
