If only downloading music (meaning mp3 etc. Would stay away from wma files though) there is very little chance of catching a virus or other malware.

Don't download zip or rar files to be on the safe side. Also scan what you download with your antivirus

Here are some other tips on how to find what you want

How to find music

Sleepless is fully correct in his advice, I would only like to add one thing and that is make sure that your virus definitions are up to date, by actioning Liveupdate before you download anything, that way you will ensure that your brother's PC is better protected.

Cool, thanks alot guys.

And also, one quick question: is it possible to scan files before you download them?

No, but as long as you don't open them before scanning them, there should be no problem
