The catalog is awesome; much better than several other sites I have reviewed. This site seems to have the best combination of cheap prices and catalog size.

MP3Fiesta.com has a very catchy and interesting prices: usually tracks cost $0.10 - but occasionally they cost $0.12 or $0.13 as well. While that doesn't seem to correspond with file size (song length), it doesn't make much difference in the overall album price. Not only that, but sometimes you get a further discount if you purchase the whole album rather than single tracks; this album with 16 tracks should cost $1.60, but it only costs $0.99 if you purchase the entire album. Now that's a real good deal! It seems that many albums are priced this way. It turns out that when you are comparing album prices, this $0.99 per album deal is usually the cheapest you will find anywhere.

They accept major credit cards and used to accept some other less popular payment types, but it appears that they no longer do.

You cannot chose the bitrate you'd like to have the MP3 encoded in, but that is usual (after Allofmp3 is down). All music tracks are DRM free and in MP3 format, which means you will have no issues when transferring your music to your iPod/CD/MP3 player/Windows Media Player/etc. Songs are usually encoded between 192kbps and higher (usually higher), but there isn't a consistent encoding rate for all albums. Downloading seems to be fast and easy.

Conclusion

MP3Fiesta is a one of the best and cheapest resources for music. One of the best things is that you can use PayPal to fund your account, not to forget the great bonuses you receive. It lacks advanced features like online encoding and a download manager.

Downloading is fast but you have to download every single file separately using the "Right click -> Save target as" method. For downloading whole albums we advise to use a download manager. If you like clean filenames you will need a renaming tool.
