I personally do use allofmp3.com. I was scared to try my cc there too. I only did it because my brother in law has been doing it, and he know people who have been doing it. allofmp3.com supposedly uses a well known purchasing site which actually handles the money transaction. As far as I know, there haven't been complaints.

I have now charged 3 separate transactions to allofmp3. They show up on your cc bill plus an exchange fee ( like .45 cents) for changing dollars to Russian rubles. So far, I have not seen any errant behavior on the card (it's be a year).

allofmp3 is WAY addicting. I like the fact that is not definitely illegal. You are really making a purchase from a Russian business. Because the $ to ruble exchange rate is so awesome (for the US) right now, that is what makes it a bargain. They don't have everything, but they get most of the new stuff. Unfortunately, I'm looking for a lot of old stuff.

Every 20 seconds = 1 cent.

It doesn't look shady, I read their license agreement, looks fine.

I signed up, didn't put any money into the mp3search.ru account yet, but am just browsing and listening to some of the free samples.... this is really looking quite nice.

Maybe I'll put in 20-30$ when I get paid friday and see how things work out.

I think the A #1 super special feature is it's just a plain MP3, no DRM. Once I download the file it's mine. I can do what I want, how I want, when I want and where I want.

before you guys go dropping $.10 on songs, give this a shot first ...

http://mp3.baidu.com/

this link was posted yesterday and is known as the Google of China. Surprisingly enough, I used their search engine to produce a single I was looking for.

I use allofmp3.com. While I can easily get my music for free elsewhere, I was tired of corrupted files, slow downloads, spy/adware, and time spent looking for individual songs or whole albums. The $0.02/mb is well worth hassle-free, hi-quality downloads.

I used a CC that I barely ever use to sign up like six months ago, and have never had any odd charges billed to me. Site's legit and high quality, though certainly not as user-friendly or as well stocked as iTunes. But you have your choice of dl'ing in like 5 formats and the files are DRM free to do with as you please.

God, I sound like I have stock in the company or something. :doh:
