MP3Fiesta is a music download service for those who want the latest music tracks for cheap and without any digital rights restrictions. Personally, I don't like iTunes because it's simply too restrictive with my music: songs can only be played on my computer or iPod. If you want to move them to another computer, you have to go through all kind of hoops that are either too complicated for a normal user or too time-consuming.

MP3Fiesta has 19,214 artists, 79,592 albums, and 867,366 tracks in it's music database! Over 300 albums are added to the collection every day! It's complete with new releases, charts, ratings, and has a large number of music genres, including International music from the UK, Euro, and World.

All music that you download from the site is in the universal MP3 format, so you can play it on your computer, iPod, mobile, etc. Another nice feature of the site is the ability to preview any song before you download it, up to 30 seconds with good sound quality.



However, the main reason to buy music from this site and not iTunes is because the price for tracks and albums is GREAT! Most tracks on the site are on average only 10 cents. That means you can download an entire album for about $0.99!! That's cheap! Even most of the new releases are $0.99 for the entire album!

MP3Fiesta also gives you useful information (for tech people) about the tracks, such as bit rate, time, and the size of the MP3.
And as mentioned above, once you download the music, you can freely copy it onto any other device that you like as many times as you want!

The success of Allofmp3 has brought more Russian music services. MP3Sugar is one of first to follow this example.

Like Allofmp3, MP3Sugar has signed agreements with the Russian copyright organization ROMS. This entitles this service to legally offer music by all artists and from all labels.

Files are delivered in 192 kbps MP3. There is no copy protection. You can do whatever you want with the music files. Burn audio CDs, transfer music to your portable mp3player, no limits!

The large $10 bonus offered for purchasing $34 in credits and fixed track price of $0.18 will attract customers to this slick site. With a good catalog and credit card payments available, this site might be the one for you.

Most files are offered in MP3 format with a 192kbps bitrate, though we did find a few exceptions. The sound quality is excellent. Filenames are like, 04_-_This_Is_A_Song.mp3. Not quite the way we like them but ID3 tags are properly filled so automated renaming with a tag editor should do the trick.

MP3Sugar offers a nice interface and delivers a comprehensive catalog that includes albums from all major artists. Browsing the catalogue is not very user-friendly but the search feature is excellent.

All songs cost $.18, albums are paid per track ($.18.) To be able to download you have to pay in advance by buying download credit for $19,95 or $34,95.

A $34,95 payment will give you a bonus of $10 download credit and you can get even more free credit by recommending the service to your friends.
Take the site tour to learn more.


Legality
Many question the legality of the Russian services. Lengthy discussions on this subject can be found all over the Internet. The bottom line is that the Russian services are probably legal under current Russian law. Using these services from outside Russia could be legal as well. More information can be found on this page.

MP3Sale is a Russian site with a good looking design and over 1.7 million tracks in store.

Tracks cost $0.15 per track. A complete album is paid per track but with a 20% discount. They accept major credit cards and a few other methods like wire transfer.

MP3Sale has signed agreements with the Russian copyright organization FAIR. This entitles this service to legally offer music by all artists and from all labels.

You can listen to a 30 second preview of every track using the built-in flash player.



All files are offered in MP3 format and a good deal of them are encoded with a variable bitrate using the excellent LAME encoder and the alt-preset standard switch. This produces an excellent sound quality practically undistinguishable from the original cd. But you will come across other bitrates.
Too bad the filenames are like, 04_-_This_Is_A_Song.mp3, but the ID3 tags are properly filled so automated renaming can be done with a tag editor.

MP3Sale has one of the best catalogues. Even the singles are present, with the usual special remixes.

Songs cost $0.15 per track, but when you order an album you will get a 20% discount on the total price of the tracks.

Download credit can be bought using major credit cards starting from $20,00. Depositing a higher account may give you a bonus up to 100%. Be sure to check their regular special offers.

MP3Sale is a one of the best resources for music. The catalogue is impressive. Too bad MP3Sale lacks advanced features like online encoding and a download manager.

Downloading is fast but you have to download every single file separately. It is advised to use a download manager for downloading whole albums. For those who like clean filenames a renaming tool is needed.
