The large $10 bonus offered for purchasing $34 in credits and fixed
track price of $0.18 will attract customers to this slick site. With a
good catalog and credit card payments available, this site might be the
one for you.
Certainly one of the benefits of using MP3Sugar.com is the large bonus offered when charging up your account: if you buy $34 worth of credits, you get an extra $10 worth of credits on top of that - effectively giving you $44 worth of credits for $34. This site uses a fixed price of $0.18 per track, which means that you might end up downloading an album with long songs at a cheaper price than websites using variable track pricing.
Like most other sites, you are not given the option to pick the encoded bitrates of the tracks. There seems to be no default encoding rate, with some albums being encoded entirely at 192Kbps, and others using a mixture of encoding rates.
Downloading from MP3Sugar.com is easy and fast, and again using an external downloader like FlashGet will make your life a lot easier.
Major credit cards are accepted (VISA, Mastecard, JCB, DinersClub), but nothing else for topping up your account.
