1) Don't know of any legal MP3 sites, you could rip your own CDs?

2) Put them on an MMC/SD card would be your best be

3?) No, there is no radio tuner built into the SPV.

Downloading mp3s is "illegal" get some ripping software and convert your own music collection.

Put them on the phone in /Storage Card or /IPSM/My Documents and they should be visible in Media Player.

That's a whole big topic concerning the legality of downloadable MP3s. Your best bet is to copy your own CDs on your PC (using Windows Media Player / Real Player or about a million other pieces of software) and then copy them to the phone.

2) I don^t know how to save them

Have a search on this site. Note that Windows Media Player has bugs when copying files directly so copy using explorer.

Also can I listen to local radio without streaming and how do i do this?

Nope not possible. There is a "radio off" mode which is confusing some people. It means "phone signal off" not radio.
