Well, easier to the general public. My dad isn't aware of googling song.mp3, but he is aware of itunes. It would be much easier for him to download from itunes and have it uploaded to his ipod. It's just a matter of a few steps and he's good to go.
Even with googling a particular song would still require some savvy. Sometimes you are directed to sites that do not host the correct file, sometimes there is a risk of accessing a phishing or malware site. itunes takes the guess work out of that for being safe, reliable, and affordable.
