Dowloading music at the SPL. Is this legal?

I decided to listen to some tracks featuring the synthesizer. The songs had funky, inane titles that included: Disco Propulsion, Disco Satellite, Electronic Brain, Robot Party and Machines For Ever. I'm really glad I choose this instrument because it gave me a few LOL's. I imagine this is the sort of music that could act as a soundtrack to a 70's porn movie. Wow wow chicka wow wow!

I was also browsing through the Global Sound section, and noticed that the Smithsonian had an Yves Montand album of songs of Paris. I became a fan of him after watching Jean de Florette and Le Cercle Rouge. He is a crooner extraordinaire. I think he also had an affair with Marilyn Monroe. That's cool!

I don't see why I would ever use the site for a school assignment. It feels more like a place to browse and causually listen to a few songs, nothing more.
