Hmm, I had no idea that DCC was such a bad thing on mIRC. I used to see hundreds of channels with hundreds of people in each.

Enjoy that whilst it lasts. Call it a bold prediction but I reckon that will be a thing of the past inside 12 months.

Unless you like endlessly patrolling your computer for viruses I suggest you go to a record shop, buy the music and copy the CD to your computer using an MP3 programme. This is legal if you are only making the copies for yourself and if done properly the music quality is better too.
