Digital MP3 Player Blog

allofmp3.com RIP……. Since the death knell rang for the very admired (and later proved to be lawful) mp3 download site, music download fans all over the globe have been looking for a dependable alternative to allofmp3.

Tens of sites appeared practically overnight to capitalise on the appetite of thousands of mp3 download fans, all offering the same high quality, low cost music store experience. Unfortunately most of these sites were scandalously poor, offering low quality rehashes of other sites’ libraries, and often being unavailable at no notice.

So what were the criteria that had thousands regularly recharging their accounts at the best download site before it was forced to shutdown?

Basically, the tracks were inexpensive & the quality very superior, and the music collection was enormous – ranging from all recent new releases of all music styles, to the latest charts and an inspiring back catalogue of albums stretching back to the sixties. And all tracks were DRM free, meaning they could be played on any mp3 player.

Those new sites had a lot to live up to…….………………….

The majority of them didn’t!

So where do you download mp3s now?

Generally, you have two choices when it comes to finding low fee, high quality music on the internet. Pay per download or file sharing.

By pay per download, it is customary to charge your account in advance (by means of a credit card), and this amount is then reduced as you buy music. When your account is at zero you can charge your account again and carry on. Some sites offer incentives of extra tracks or bonus credits if you credit your account at a particular level (say $30). Before you do this, every time try to ensure the site has enough music to cover your credit, and more significantly has been around long enough that you’re happy it isn’t going to vanish overnight……

File sharing has been here since well before allofmp3. Basically you join a network, where each person on the network allows sharing of some or all of their personal mp3s (also movies, games etc). If the network is big, you have access to literally millions of files to share (or download for free, depending on your opinion). In the early days these sites were gratis to use, but subsidised themselves with heaps of infuriating adware, and in some cases, spyware.

If file sharing is the way you want to go, join a network that is guaranteed to be clear of adware and spyware. These networks charge a token membership, but then all downloads are free.

While the dust has settled somewhat and (most of) the cowboys have moved on, there is still varying quality in the level of sites that remain. Bookmark this allofmp3 substitute review site- It examines the current players, and advocates the best allofmp3 alternative.
