I've never heard, until you made the claim now, that they are affiliated with any mob activity. The only claim I've heard, as was explained in the article, is that they are NOT an illegal site and at worst, are operating in a gray zone, and eventually the laws will probably be changed and they wont be able to operate this way anymore. I have to admit I'm kinda pissed off at them. I haven't been able to add any money there for over a year and they basically haven't done crap to try and make it easy for me to do so. All they have is a link to allpay.cc and the whole site is in russian - you'd think in this whole time someone there could put up a page in english explaining how i can give them my money through allpay if they cant manage to accept credit cards. I've basically given up on mp3sparks. It's really too bad - i really like them. but they really dropped the ball. if you want a cool website for buying music that's actually fair to the artist, check out magnatune.com. You can pay $10/mo for all you want downloads or download albums at $5 a pop. You can get whatever format you want including uncompressed WAV and HALF the money goes to the artist. If you want to screw the RIAA legally and not screw the artist, this sounds like a good way to do it.

While you guys seem to be happy buying stolen albums, all you have to do is do some research on MP3 Sparks and its affiliates to realise its run by the russian mafia. Why do you think all the major record companies sued them for over $1 trillion dollars? These idots have strong links with phishishing scams and child pornography and if any of you fools have given your credit card details to MP3 Sparks then you people deserve all the shit that comes your way as your card details are probably cloned by now. Anyone who supports MP3 Sparks is an idiot especially the dude that wrote the main article as he clearly has no idea what's going on. I for one hope MP3 Sparks gets closed down ASAP, and you are all the more stupid for accepting a cheap download, specially due to the links with organized crime which this company clearly has.

RIAA has essentially given up persecuting these Russian companies. Hurray. http://techdirt.com/articles/20080527/0044331223.shtml Here’s a great article confirming the legality of Allofmp3.com and mp3sparks.com.

Fiesta is fine but I've found they lack the depth of music and new albums aren't released on it as quickly as sparks. But they take debit cards so its all good!

I'll try that website instead. Any music recommendations? I have an ecclectic style that includes Jesse Cook to Reggeaton to Country. Always looking to add to my collection of unknowns.

But I bought a big balance just to be sure in case they have payment problems as well. Yes, MP3Fiesta (http://www.mp3fiesta.com) is working great for me.
