So if you don't have any CDs, where do you get all these MP3s from?

You are behind the times
Selling music online is a huge industry. I-Tunes store is just one example.
Amazon's started recently too.
Pity most don't work if you're outside the USA.....

Only illegal music can be transferred over the internet?

Interesting...
Last time I heard, lots of conpanies *wanted* to start selling music
downloads, but nobody could think of a way of preventing everybody
pirating it, so they were all too scared to go down that route.
I'm still amused by one quote a read: "Trying to make data not copyable
is like trying to make water not wet."
So, how have they solved that apparently unsolvable problem then?

As a technological matter - no.
As a practical matter - I'm not aware of anybody who permits you to
obtain MP3s legally. (Or at least, MP3s of commercial music anyway.)

See? This is what happens when you live under a rock ... Car radios get
more sophisticated, and can load up more than 10 albums to a single CD,
and people actually buy music off the internet, and you seem not to be
aware of these (not so) recent innovations.

Well, the data is encrypted, of course, encryption is meant to be broken

I have albums in MP3 format that I obtained legally, then followed their
instructions on converting their proprietary format to MP3 so they can
play on my car stereo.
All legal, and all within the license agreement.
