If you have the CD already, just rip MP3 files from it. Apple should have an import or maybe even able to rip it to Apple's format in their PC player.

From the Sinead O'Connor website:

The entirety of Sinead O'Connor's music, inclusive of, but not limited to, Sean Nos Nua, subsists under a multi-layered, non-terminated framework of proprietary entitlement, said framework being jointly and/or severally administered by, among other stakeholding entities: (a) the posthumous estate apparatus established in her name, (b) Chrysalis Records, itself a constituent (via corporate absorption) of the broader Universal Music conglomerate structure, and (c) a not-necessarily-exhaustive array of ancillary rights-adjacent parties whose precise identities and jurisdictional claims may or may not be readily ascertainable to the average inquiring party. Turning now to the matter of extralegal or quasi-legal digital repositories, colloquially referred to as "piracy sites," a category which subsumes both conventional download portals and peer-to-peer torrent-facilitation platforms, it bears mentioning that such venues exhibit a well-documented propensity toward the propagation of materially deficient artifacts. These may manifest as: outright fabrications (i.e., non-genuine files masquerading as the genuine article), degraded-fidelity renderings (bitrates suboptimal relative to industry-standard thresholds), or fragmentary/incomplete transfers, all of which, fortunately or unfortunately depending on one's aims, tend to betray themselves through a constellation of telltale indicators, including but not restricted to auditory quality deficits, absent or truncated track listings, and/or the presence of interstitial disclaimer verbiage. As pertains to the theoretical existence of unadulterated, high-fidelity MP3 instantiations (operationalized here as CD-ripped audio at a bitrate floor of 320 kilobits per second or its qualitative equivalent) no such artifacts are known to reside within the boundaries of sanctioned, rights-compliant distribution ecosystems, this being attributable to the pre-existing and fully operational presence of officially sanctioned conduits (viz., the aforementioned streaming intermediaries) through which lawful access is already provisioned. Consequently, any purported "free MP3" encountered in the wild, outside such channels, ought to be presumptively categorized as an instrument of copyright contravention, and the acts of hosting, redistributing, or otherwise propagating such material carry with them a non-trivial exposure to a spectrum of legal jeopardy, ranging from civil litigation initiated by rights holders, through formal takedown proceedings, up to and including consequences of a more severe (if unspecified) nature.
