AllOfMp3.com

[danger_boy_13]

Hey, I am thinking about starting to use AllOfMP3.com to get music, but I can't seem to find their rates for download. Can someone link me to them? Also, how good is the quality? What bitrates can you DL at? Thanx in advance.

[tifosiv122]

Its all answered in their FAQ. Most of the files are $0.01 per MB, the MB depend on the bitrate, most of their files you can choose any bitrate and filetype you want.

[danger_boy_13]

Thanks a lot. I found it, thats a great rate. I would be willing to pay that for songs.

Erik, I saw on your site that you are moving to MI, where at in MI?

Has anyone actually used this service? I am a little weary of using a service without hearing about how the service is.

[skinnyNinja]

I used paypal and went for the 15 dollar deal. I've downloaded ten dollars worth of music and can't believe how much I got. I'm actually having to scratch my head and dig a little to spend the remaining five. (I got everything encoded at 128). The selection is pretty darn good, and I've had no problems with the service. Downloads seem to hover around 90 K or so, fast enough to get several albums in an hour. Currently still legal in the U.S. according to what I've read, but that may not last forever. Get in while the getting's good...

I've already downloaded 2.53gigs from the site (most at 192 mp3). They make you install a homegrown downloading program which is easy to use and provides all the useful info about your account and even track what you have previously downloaded. You only need to run this program when you are ready to download, you can surf the site queue up the songs and then download at your convenience. Plus they get new stuff everyday.

[tifosiv122]

I have over 20.4 GB of music from them...a bit over 5,200 songs. Most of them I downloaded when it was 1,000 songs for $14.95. Now that its $0.01 per MB i've curbed my downloading and only spent another $10.00. The service is top notch and out of all my songs I only found 2 bad ones. I got credit for both of them and re-downloaded them when they told me they were fixed.

I requested Velvet Revolver's new CD and a few days later it was on their site.

Nah, it's not required. I've been downloading from them for a few months now and only used flashget.

tifosiv122: thanks for requesting velvet revolver. I was waiting for allofmp3 to make it available since the actual cd has an unfair DMR. I know there's a way around it, but it's the principle of the thing I'm not going to support.

[Dr. Rogue]

I went to www.allofmp3.com and it was all in Russian. I clicked on the English page, and yet the titles were all in Russian still. Is this the site you are talking about?

It does that once in a while, but as soon as you get it in English use their Explorer to download, then just bring up the homepage when you need it through the Explorer.Works EVERY time and the site is a blast! They have some weird and obscure shit on there.And at less than a buck an album you cant go wrong. However the IT guy at work advised me to make $10 cc payments through Paypal just to be on the safe side!

[blueskies]

do their downloads have any restrictions, such as limited number of burns or devices they can be played on?

//edit - to answer my own question, no, there are no restrictions. you just get a pure, drm free file. =]

[fischsticks]

ok this is going to sound stupid but how much does the average song encoded at 128 cost? how much does the average album cost at 128? and last can i give it a maximum amount to spend, like $10?

[blueskies]

well...i'd say an average song is 3-5 megabytes at 128kb. so, that'll cost about 3-5 cents. do the math for a full album. lets just say, i signed up, payed 5$, have downloaded 4 full albums, and used less than 3$ of my credit. this is so awesome. let's hope they don't get shut down.

At 128 for MP3 it's a meg a minute.

[danger_boy_13]

I didn't see anything about Paypal on their site? How do you use that to pay for your music?

[chefinator]

whats the copyrights of the songs on the site? is it a chill site that the RIAA wont get all butt hurt about and come and sue u...

[rparmele]

If a cd/song is not currently available on allofmp3.com how do you go about requesting that it be made available? I've looked all over the site and can't find it. I'm hoping they get the Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary show in MSG. Great guest appearances by Eric Clapton, Neil Young, and Dylan himself. Thanks.

[rachel27]

wait they don't have the 1000 songs for $15 deal any more right?
(if they do where on the site do you go to get it?)

That deal was gonzo long ago. Way long ago.

[tifosiv122]

Yup...too bad too, I got 5 months of 1,000 songs, then they pull the plug. Eeek. I had to curb my downloading a bit.

Erik

[anshu]

brilliant site, downloaded 25$ worth(i step up the bitrate every now and then)

[derekmartin81]

many thanks to all of you that gave input about this site. i just checked it out and i'm downloading a LOT.

if i would have come by it by accident i dont think id trust it, but since theres positive testimonials in this post, i knew it was a trustworthy site.

sure is nice to get WHOLE ALBUMS for about 60 cents instead of 99 cents per song.

thanks again

[Ladysoleil]

Very cool site indeed. I'm deeply amused to see that they have the Wolfsheim album that I couldn't rip to MP3 because it was copy protected (whined about that on an earlier thread). That's pretty funny. I'll probably sign up to get a few things here and there, they have a lot of nice synthpop and industrial stuff as well. Thanks for the tip!

[rachel27]

does your payment ever expire? If I put $10 onto my credit--how long do I have to download $10 worth of music?

[getthecatdj15]

ok. i signed up about a week ago and searched for 2 songs and neither came up. weird. also, with choosing the bitrate..when is that done? is it after you pick the song out of the initial list? and one more thing...do you have to pay for going from like 128 to 192 (for the conversion) or just for the extra quality?

[Grant]

you pick the bitrate and format after you choose the songs. Yes, you have to pay, but only because a higher bitrate will be a bigger file.

[getthecatdj15]

did anyone enable the music catalog in the explorer thing? im trying to decide if i want it. i guess it would be worth the 10 cents to not have to go back and forth between the actual site and explorer. did anyone do it?

[getthecatdj15]

ok. i just downloaded my first song. i just have one thing to say..thank you everyone who had anything to do with getting me to go on allofmp3. and thank you Russia!

[MeTaL]

did you pay using your cc ? i have still not used it coz they have taken down paypal and i really don't trust any of the other payment methods

[getthecatdj15]

they gave me ten cents free. thats all i used. im going to use cc though

[MeTaL]

i googled on xrost and came out all the more confused :D

has anyone used xrost ? do you pay to xrost thru paypal ? then it has to be better than using the cc directly on allofmp3

[eMiXr]

I haven't used xrost, but I googled it and saw a warning about them somewhere. I'd like to use PayPal with them too so I put in a support ticket about it. We'll see what they say :(

[dolemite420]

Sounds interesting..what are the download speeds like at this site?

Also, if you find something you really like on allofmp3, please support the artist by purchasing the music here in the good old USA. This goes mainly for the smaller, independent artists. They need our support to keep making great music.

As for the big name major-label stuff, fuck em.

[MeTaL]

eMiXr, come back after you get a reply from xrost :D

I have a tip... If you know the artist and the song you are looking for is not coming up... go to the music browser and go alphabetically to the artist and then find the song from within the artist. This I have found especially useful for artists that have hyphens or &'s in the name. Like I searched "Anti Flag" and it didn't come up... however, when Iwent ot he browser I found out that this artist could be found in "Anti-Flag"... give that a shot if you are having trouble finding certain songs/artists.

[kgirlsbug]

I have used the xrost...got 10% added to my account as well, and I have had no card issues

[MeTaL]

Do you use your credit card in xrost, kgirlsbug ?
or do you use paypal to pay to xrost. (reason me asking : i read a post online which vaguely described using paypal with xrost).

well, im much happier now. 1 of the two is really new i guess..and the other one was let's get retarded and i was putting in let's get it started. all the other songs i have looked for so far have been there.

[silentnight_913]

This is my first post. I am coming out of lurk mode to share some information with fellow forum users.

I have been using allofmp3.com for a few months now. A couple of days ago, I received a letter from my bank notifying me that visa fraud control was closing my current debt card account, and reissuing me a new debt card because my "debt card account number has been compromised at a merchant". I cannot verify that it was XROST, but the information at the link below makes me believe that it could have been.

http://forum.osnn.net/showthread.php?p=420338#post420338

[MeTaL]

so you don't pay xrost thru paypal ? somebody please answer my question :)

[silentnight_913]

Yes, you have the option to pay xrost either using paypal, or just a credit card. I don't have a paypal account, so I used the credit card option. Doh!

[eMiXr]

MeTaL, what SilentNight listed was what I had googled. I asked AllOfMp3.com's support about using PayPal instead of using my CC on one of their options (Cyberpal?) or XroSt, but they redirected me to XrOst saying "and you'll get 10%!"

[MeTaL]

I've always been told : if something looks too good to be true, then its not really good. :)

[kgirlsbug]

I cannot speak for you , but I have purchaced and downloaded almost 800 tracks and I have yet to have a single issue with the site...in fact, I had more issues with Napster and slow customer service in the 3 weeks I used them.

[theSeeKeR6275]

Another really good Russian site is MP3Search.ru (http://www.MP3Search.ru), instead of charging by the megabyte they charge by the song (10 cents each). They have a huge selection, comparable or bigger than Allofmp3, the downside is that they don't have a companion program like AllOfMp3 Explorer, and the tracks don't come with ID3 tags (if you want them you have to create your own). If you start out with $30.00 they give you $3.00 free, which is 30 free songs, not bad.

[StarBoy]

I've ordered a couple hundred tracks of allofmp3.com, and I think it's the best music service that's been offered so far. The Explorer is easy to use, and the selection is growing pretty rapidly (I think they're up to about 300,000). And the price doesn't hurt either :D. The only problem I've had was using the credit card to purchase music, but that was the companys fault anyway so that doesn't really count.

[MeTaL]

What was the problem you had using the credit card ? and which company's fault .? .... :confused:

[ct2844dragon]

StarBoy probably means that his company thought someone else was using his card to purchase things without permission.I have used AllofMp3 and used my CC with absolutely no problems, but i ise cyberpal not xrost.

[COGnosticator]

I have spent over $100 with allofmp3 over the last month, using different credit cards and I haven't had one problem.

[KaRaZyJeW]

I think I'm up to $65 on allofmp3.com , no problems.

[GodIsaDJ]

I had found this website! It's a pirate webiste. www.emp3finder.com
I started 2 download a few mp3's but then I stopped cause I knew it was illeagle!

[getthecatdj15]

im not sure what happened. i paid $5 using this 75 dollar virtual cc and everything went fine. then, 2 days ago, they charged 7 more cents. im going to ask them about it through aomp3 explorer, but i was wondering if they'll understand me.

[Grant]

yea, once, they charged me 5 more cents after a $5 re-fill, but only once.....that's really weird.

[MeTaL]

whats a virtual cc getthecatdj ?

[getthecatdj15]

some thing my dad got for signing up for comcast highspeed. Its a mastercard with $75 dollars on it just you dont actually get the card..you just use the number. Its kind of like a gift card to anywhere on the web or phone orders.

[getthecatdj15]

yea, once, they charged me 5 more cents after a $5 re-fill, but only once.....that's really weird.


they responded to my inquiry and said that the final payment changes from time to time because it is calculated in russian money and the exchange rate of dollars/rubles changes daily.

i guess thats ligit.

[MeTaL]

But the rates they advertise on the site are in $ , so the conversion rates shouldn't matter.
As long as it is a few cents its fine :)


and thanx getthecad....for the info

[Grant]

yes, 5 cents is no biggy.

[getthecatdj15]

i didnt have a problem with the seven cents but (of course) if they can take out 7 cents they can take out $70. i didnt think so though.

[MeTaL]

http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/article/0,aid,118273,00.asp

an article on allofmp3.... looks like the music groups are trying hard to ward off people. they just don't say its illegal. all the articles keep saying they don't have permission from "us". i think they are trying their best not to talk about it.

[_SLY_]

I got charged an extra five bucks...i exchanged about 20 emails trying to figure out why...it's five bucks....whoopee shit....but i wanted to know why! it's 4 albums, man!

[getthecatdj15]

actually its more like 8 albums..unless you get 320's

[RichTJ99]

So is it better to use paypal or your credit card for this? I see paypal was disabled. If they re-enable paypal, is that smarter to use?

[KaRaZyJeW]

I use credit card with no problems...

[CluckChicken]

So is it better to use paypal or your credit card for this? I see paypal was disabled. If they re-enable paypal, is that smarter to use?

I thought PayPal was better to use because you never got charged for the conversion to rubbils, not that this ever made much of a difference.

[Grant]

I have always used credit cards, and I've had no problems.

[TheBigNewt]

I've used both, seems to make no difference, (and there's no conversion to rubles on the cc statement either, they must take bucks American).

[FlyingJenny]

I have a PayPal Master Card debit card linked to my PayPal account and I use that. I just transfer money into my PayPal account and then spend it with the Debit Card. It just feels safer that way. It is probably fine with any Credit Card, though. I have never had any problem with them.

[EviLMunkey]

I've used a cc directly with the site and have had no problems myself.

[ct2844dragon]

I've used a credit card several times on their site with no problems except I was charged for the conversion.

[Dead_Archos]

Okay, why do I keep getting the Russian versian of the site? I click on "English" and get a blank page. I know, it could be my settings, but I havent't had problems with other sites. I have tried allofmp3 about 6 times now and haven't had any luck. Ideas?

[andybrown]

hmmm.. no idea.. i've been downloading from them all day long, and i went to the site a few times earlier (i use explorer to d/l) and it was all in english for me..
spyware maybe? run a few programs to check, does it do that on alot of websites? check this (http://www.delldjsite.com/forums/showthread.php?p=29016#post29016) out.

[Dead_Archos]

I am a nut about spyware/adware (check my system many times a day). I use firefox as my main browser and usually have all privacy/popup options checked on my AV prog. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to try accessing the site with IE.
