Do you think VLC is too complicated? It has many options, true, but when it comes to playing MP3, it's one click and go, isn't it?
Downloading MP3, well, that was always with legal troubles as you can imagine...
For free music only (free music only! underline that word!), I would suggest to download a Youtube video and throw it in Audacity, another program which can be used for music editing. That way you could make some little edits and save the file as OGG (because it's a free codec, or any other format of course) and build up your own little music collection again.

OMG! Your post reminds me of how I used Winamp and played my music on the computer after I came back from school. So, many sweet memories
Also, I found this Reddit discussion on this topic. You should check it out if you are looking for some old-school stuff.
