Can anyone recommend any Websites for purchasing mp3 albums? I just
about worked myself around to tring out all of mp3 when it was closed
down, nervous about giving my credit card details to the russian mafia
I'm not keen to try out mp3sparks but would prefer a service which lets
me credit my accounts via a more trust worthy 3rd party. E-music
doesn't seem very screenreader friendly, legal sounds seems good but I
couldn't find a way to credit an account from the UK, the only european
agent rejected my card and some reading around on the Web suggested that
most banks don't let you pay legal-sounds without first authorising the
payment over hte phone because of the risky nature of the parent
company. They do give away one track a day free but I couldn't seem to
download it using their download manager software which they claim is
the only way to collect your purchased title although elseware on the
site it suggest you can just download by right clicking titles on the
site itself. also you can only download purchased titles once.
I've currently settled on GoMusic as you can pay as you go or pre credit
your account, it's easy to make payments and the interface is ok with
jaws. the main problem I've had so far is that you seem to have to
download each track individually rather than being able to download a
whole album even though you purchase the album as a whole. chart albums
seem to cost between 2 and 2 and a half dollars.
can anyone tell me how to download a whole album from GoMusic or
recommend an alternative.
