I´ve once gone to audiogalaxy but didn´t bother to try it out, my cousin uses it all the time though...
I just download from labels and bandpages most often

How I know it?? Because we have that song/poem in Norway to, of course. I've sung that song since I went to kindergarten! And the lyrics are not very different in Norwegian, just look at this: (okay, you have to forgive me, Djöfull, but I still don't know how to type edd and thorn, so I use 'th')
Viljith tær hoyra kvæthi mitt
>Vilja de høyra kvedet mitt
Viljith tær orthum trúgva
> (Og) Vilja de ordi tru
Um hann Ólav Tryggvasson
>Om han Olav Tryggvasson
Hagar skal ríman snugva
>Skal songen her seg snu
Glymur dansur í höll
>Dansen glyme i halli
Dans sláith i ring
>(Så) Dansa (me) så i ring
Glathir rída Noregs menn
>Glade rida Noregs menn
Til Hildar ting
>Til Hildar ting
I understood most of it, it was fun to sing it in the original language, though I'm not completely sure about the pronounciation.
Btw, "lunnar" is big trunks that they'd put the ship on, to roll it down to the sea. "Stevna" - that word has two words in English: stem and stern; in the Scandinavian languages we use the same word for both.
But that song has quite a lot more verses than that, though. I don't know exactly how many, but more than 30, anyway... I don't know that many.
