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.

OK, my message didn't forward.  Here's the original text:

Azureus is the prgram I use on my Macs.  It does a very good job and it is open source, thus having constant improvements and upgrades.  If someone is running Mac OS 10.2.8, I still have an older version that will work with that system.  You just have to disable the auto update feature so it doesn't ask you to update every time it checks.
