What a horrible website. Made an account to get the mp3. Just to discover that the mp3 download link doesnt work even then. Thank god I used a throwaway email to sign up. Otherwise I would be even more pissed.

Bugmenot is great for sites like this.

http://10minutemail.com/

is what i use, much simpler.

I wouldn't call that simpler. You have to register using a fake email, possibly actually go check the inbox and click a link, and possibly be required to log in again now that the account is registered. With bugmenot, all you do is copy and paste a valid username and password.
Another similar option is Mailinator: http://mailinator.com/
Some websites block emails from mailinator which is pretty annoying.
For Firefox users, made even smoother with: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/bloody-viking...
i keep forgetting about bugmenot
