The tuner from Mac looks pretty good, tons of great reviews other than the mini attena.

For downloading music or other files, I love Limewire.
I'm assuming you mean music that you either own the copyright license to or music that is explicitly allowed to be shared with others?

Because stealing music is wrong.

Of course.

Such as Corey Smith and numerous other artists that allow for certain songs to be downloaded.

I also have downloaded some stuff illegally but not too much.

Either way, it is a fantastic tool for music, videos, and other applications, imo.

The Macbook is a sweet laptop. I just got mine not to long ago. I had to convert all my music from my PC to my Macbook (include my itunes library). The best & easiest way I found was to burn all music as data to CD. Then import it/add to library (from data CD) into iTunes. That way you also have a back-up disk with all your music on it. As far as music downloading, I would stick with iTunes. Its made to work exclusively with your Mac and its a great program.

the best ext. HD is the one you are most comfortable buying. i put a WD internal drive in a case and it works great
