A friend sent me a link to this website recently:
MP3Search.Ru – Great MP3 Music Archive!
He’s been quite happy with it and I have to admit I’m tempted myself. I’m much more of the opinion that songs are finally reasonably priced now that we’re not forced to purchase an album of largely unwanted songs just to get the one or two that you want. So I’ve been buying all my music lately from Apple’s iTunes.
Here’s my response to my friend:
I have heard about this site before. Nothing bad, it was profiled on “The Screensavers” on TechTV last year. It is located in Russia and is, presumably, legal there. Whether or not that translates to legal here was a question left up to the viewer. But the reviewer indicated he was quite pleased and liked the idea that he could select the quality of the songs he downloaded.
I suppose it comes down to how comfortable one would be holding up a receipt from this website as proof of purchase! 🙂
Warning: After you download a certain number of files ($.60 or $1,00), their server blocks you!!, so that web site is a $”%& crap! They stole me $19 bucks!!
I’ve had awesome luck with it. I’ve burned 8 CD’s and still have $26 in the kitty. Their site is currently down but I’ve read interviews with the owners and it is suppose to be back up again. The site site says October 13th……………Which has passed.
