The two main bodies you'll have to deal withare the MCPS and the PRS (mechanical copyrights protection society and the performing rights society) the PRS collects royalties from TV stations and film theatres, pubs, nightclubs, anywhere public area in which music is player, and distributes to the artists.
the only problem may be the MCPS (which always provides a cut to the artist when a recorded work is copied to a form of media) the transfer from internet to the eventual media via your computer can be seen as a stage of recording, data transfer for mastering or temporary storage. as long as you delete any music after the transfer to the final master copy you are violating no laws.
hope that made sense, i am a little wasted.

glad to helpcopyright laws are quite possibly the most messed up confused laws going, no clear definitions for most of them anywhere.
