I've had no problems with it. Here's a good site for cheap music,
however:
http://www.allofmp3.com

If you decide to sign up with them, download their AllTunes software,
it works much better than just going to their site.

I've been using allofmp3 for about 6 months. But, their credit card payment
system has been broken for a couple of days and I'm out of credits there. I
need to download & learn almost 50 songs in the next two weeks. I emailed
the site about the payment problem, and as usual, got answer bak not so good
understood Russian we rite more again.

I just "refilled" there. I think I had to buy a token with my credit card
and then use that number...it is convoluted.


When was "just"? I went there 8 seconds ago and it still says credit card
payment is not possible at this time. I believe the Russian authorities may
have finally agreed to stomp this site.

Odd thing, that. My credit card happens to work still. Two of my
business associates' cards do not work. One of the guys tried two
different credit cards, one being from the same bank as mine.

I can't even get to the page where I enter the credit card info. Are you
talking about www.allofmp3.com, or www.alltunes.com? I'm avoiding alltunes
because I prefer NOT to install software - I just want to download the old
fashioned way.

I use both, but I prefer to use alltunes because you can set up several
songs to download at once. I just went to www.allofmp3.com, and got to
the page. Go to "balance" then "refill balance" button, then "add money
by credit card" button. It just worked for me, although I've got money
in there, so I didn't try to put in more.

File sharing....yecch!

You, obviously, know how to use part of Usenet. Why not download from
Usenet's alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.(your favorite genre here) for free?

Oh, I know....You feel guilty playin' music and not payin' the
billionaires. Sorry...............

Xnews works good, and is free. http://xnews.newsguy.com/

From what I gathered, they were focusing on Russian billionaires who
probably bootlegged the music from Usenet!
