There are thousands of radio stations "broadcasting" on the Internet, and you can legally record music from them. It may be a bit of gray area ethically.
Today I've been evaluating an app called Audials RadioTracker. The nice thing about it is that it gets the song information from the stream (track, artist, album), so you can tell it to record from a set of say, 10 stations, and after a short time you'll have a bunch of mp3 files that are ready to import into iTunes (with the info and album art intact).
You can even tell it go to find particular tunes or artists.
It's not perfect, in that sometimes there's a DJ speaking over the start of a tune, but so far it looks good. Sound quality is perfectly acceptable.
There's a free app called Screamer Radio that can do some of this, and another called Musicy, which doesn't work at all on my system.
