Two choices of download exist at Jamendo.  Look for the link "Descargar 
este album" <http://www.jamendo.com/es/?album_id=7486&p=p2pdl>

Once you hit that you can select to d/l VBR Mp3 or VBR Ogg Vorbis.  But 
you have to have a bittorrent or emule peer-to-peer client.  You are 
entering into par to the disctribution and sharing process in doing so. 
  Not being a Mac user I can't tell you which P2P clients work on Mac. 
However there are numerous P2P clients that work with Linux.  Some of 
them most certainly will automatically work with OSX.  I use Azureus 
myself.  It's a Java-based client so it should run on Mac.

Alternatively at Jamendo you can stream an album.  Either by "podcast", 
"Ogg Vorbis" or "xspf".  Each of these will send a stream control file 
down to you that needs to be associated with a media-player engine.  I 
have only tried the OV stream.  It worked fine since I have WinAMP setup 
to handle MP3 and OV streams.

How you set up a Mac to receive podcasts and streamed audio is something 
you'll have to figure out (I only do podcasts under duress). The 
media-player must support MP3 and/or Ogg (I don't know anything about 
the xspf).

HTH.
