Are there any sites beside mp3sparks that offer these formats for a wide selection? I know of sites like magnatune or whatever, but they have only independent stuff...

Can these sites be used for djs?

fair license The works available from mp3million.com are protected by the Law of the Russian Federation "On Copyright and Related Rights" and are for personal use of a buyer. Commercial use of such material is prohibited. Recording, copying, distribution on any media is possible only upon special consent of a Rightholder. Most of these sites say something similar and some include broadcasting so my question is buying tracks and using them to DJ is that legal cause it is if i purchase them off of itunes but is it off of any of these sites? PS Im in Canada

WARNING ABOUT MP3 NINJA!

WARNING ABOUT MP3 NINJA! STOLE MY MONEY!!

Well it was bound to happen. I was looking through my online bank account tonight and noticed a charge for $190.00 that I never made. Upon further inspection I noticed it came from a company called ITC. I was lost and confused as to what that could be. All I could think of was that somebody online stole my credit card number.

Then I began to get suspicous. So I took a look at MP3 Ninja's payment page, which I had used to buy credits from only a few days before. And sure enough the payment company they use is called ITC! So it seems that either MP3 Ninja, ITC, or both have used my card number to charge me fraudulent charges. Now I have had to cancel my card number and open a case against ITC. Luckily my bank will re-imburse me the amount. The FBI and INTERPOL will more than likely be contacted regarding this case according to the fraud department at my bank.

Don't Know Where to Start?

For those new to the site that don't know where to start, I suggest starting with Beginners Guide: How to Pick the Right Store for You. You'll get a brief idea of what sites are most popular and how to get started with choosing a music store to use.

SkyLive.FM Streaming Radio

I don't think most people know about this, but you can listen to the entire catalog of MP3Skyline at 96kbps (which is plenty good for a streaming station). They have a stream at skylive.fm, and it really works great.

You don't need to sign up for anything, just go there and search for what you want to listen to and add it to your playlist. That's all you need to do! I've been using it for a while now and it simply rocks.

alternative mp3skyline - paypal?

first, sorry for my bad english... i'm from germany and i have to use a translator ;-) after paypal doesn't longer work at the site mp3skyline, i search for a alternative. i'm a house-freak and the music-catalogue from this site is perfect, if found everything! i have no credit card, and I have not planning to procure it (it would not be worthwhile for me)... can someone call an alternative for this site, with the paypal function and a great house-music selection?unfortunately, i have not found another website :-( thanks for help, and sorry for the real bad english *ggg* greetz from "deutschland" sandra :-D

MP3sparks - where has it gone ?

After the demise of my old friend Allofmp3, I had little trouble shifting over to MP3Sparks - up until last week Sparks was working fine, but today Sparksie seems to have vanished - does anyone have any inside info about what has happened to my little friend Sparksie ? Has the KGB taken him out too ? Has Keanu Reeves been sent in to save the world from reasonably priced downloads, dude ? Would love any of your opinions of the best of the alternatives to allofmp3/mp3sparks - I was what i would call a moderate user IMHO. cheers gang, let's keep fighting for truth, justice and nicely priced music ! :)

Minimum payments?

Not sure who this should be directed to, but I think adding the minium payment to the sites reviews would be helpful too. One of the reasons I liked allofmp3 so much was they were the only ones that had a 10.00 minimum. I think the rest vary from 15 - 30. Thanks

Allofmp3 back online?

any comments?

Quality of MP3s?

I was just wondering, is there any difference between the MP3 quality on the sites reviewed here? Is there a comparison somewhere that shows the bitrates of all of the sites side-by-side? Thanks!
