Oh and it might have been an idea to mention that mp3spark needs www. before it, otherwise its a case of link no worky.

Has he been banned for his comment ?

He's perma-banned, he's only allowed to post when his conscience allows it.

hehe

What I want to know is, does this new site accept credit cards, or do you still have to go through 50 other sites to get your money to them?

Which pretty much ammounts to whenever I want to flame DougEdey or spew vitriol at someone. No Plagio, I ain't been banned - tis an old old joke is all :)

But you do it with love

Anyway, to be honest I don't care too much for MP3 download sites, I use the radio now because it's less hassle, untill Westwood comes on, then I fall into a coma from old-man-trying-to-be-down-with-it stress

In your opinion they may not be doing anything legally or morally wrong; however, they were closed down and then replicated the website in an almost mirror copy under a different domain name. This is obviously very provocative and is going to cause a lot of controversy so therefore they are up to 'no good' in purposely attempting to cause conflict.

Calm down.

Cut off one head, and another appears. Thats kind of the way it seems with MP3 sites.

Interestingly, most news sites have been reporting mp3sparks.com as "new", when it has actually been around for months. That's right, it didn't just appear in the last few weeks!

There are 15+ similar MP3 providers out there (many of them Russian), which means that it's not a question of if and where, its "which one do I choose from?". The site www.songboom.com , for example, has reviews for more than a dozen of them and does side-by-side comparisons.

Even if allofmp3 is completely gone, there will always be a replacement that pops out of nowhere.

and when it is gone the MPAA will make a press announcement on the success of its campaign against cyber terr.... piracy... and then there will be the hydra effect above.

I'm perfectly calm, I just don't agree with what was written. Nor do I agree that they're purposely trying to cause conflict. They're merely trying to run a legal business venture in order to earn money. If anyone is up to no good it's the Russian and US governments, and the RIAA/IPA. Since they are the ones circumventing Russian laws in order to get a place shut down, and they are the ones encroaching on and harassing perfectly law abiding business men.

Hehe, my Allofmp3 account balance was about minus $2 before closure...woot! I may sign up to the new one, depends on the variety of content.

Can't get mp3spark to load, anyone else had luck with it?

specofdust how about considering "Those crazy Russians are up to no good again." a sarcastic remark?

Yes, I could. It just annoyed me a little (For the above explained reasons).

I think that allofmp3 has really shown what the buying public wants, which is unrestricted and cheap downloads. As long as the RIAA keep suing little girls and the elderly because they are too stupid to change their business model, I have no problem for paying for what may or may not be legal depending on whose rules you follow. The US music industry is broken, until it is fixed, honestly, the hell with them.

I love music, and I will buy from anywhere I can that the RIAA has a problem with just to spite them.

Breach says it all, the music industry just has to change its business model. I'd pay for music if there were an easy and cheap (< $0,3 per song) way to do so, so far I haven't found any (not that I was looking for one..).

It would all be nice if I werent into such a niche music taste.. But then again.. I support the indie labels by paying that little extra. Roughly £5 an album.. Whether that be various artist or one..

From what I know AllofMP3 was perfectly legit and it was someone or someones leaning on the Russian government. Now I say, that's just not cricket.

I cannot either.

Allofmp3 still lives - if you know where to look ;)

Personally I hope that that Allofmp3 has a patent on their business model, Since once the big asses finally shut them down, they are sure to start using it for themselves! Lower quality = cheaper downloads.

Allofmp3 is dead - long live Allofmp3!

hmmz

In the ideal world musicians would sell their own work through their own sites. And not pluged/hyped/songs and more comercial nonsense made up by the "industry" to trap you into buying something you didnt want. The creedy managers and moneywolfs alike" would be no exsisting or useless at all. Also there are no ridiculous lawsuits or crazy prices or monopolic deals. Because if you sell a song for 5 dollar and nobody buys it, you must lower your price so people will buy it. More people buying is more income. Also there is no competition selling the same song for 2 cent cheaper or more expensive because you buy direct from the source. The producer of the song. You are always sure you pay to the right person and it will get to to people who made it in the first place.

It would be a musicfan driven system that actualy would work very well. If your music is not good you should make better music or stop and sell coffee by starbucks. In the end the world gets better music that also is worth buying and listen to. Compared to most of the crap you hear now...

Has anyone heard of/have an opinion on Legalsounds.com, they sell tracks on there for $0.09

They may be making money on the Xbox 360 console, but the line is still in debt and that debt grew by another billion today.

Allofmp3 was best, because has no drm and real time encoding - from 192 to 320 kbps I

liked "him". But russian mp3 stores it is whole world, about existense you don't know,

i write wide articles http://hubpages.com/hub/russianmp3site... about 20 sites like
