AllOfMP3.com is back up!
There were some scary rumors floating around that AllOfMP3.com was shutdown after the site was “down for maintenance” for a few days. Well, the good news is that they are back up. Phew! The funny thing is, if in fact AllOfMP3.com was shutdown, I simply would have downloaded more albums off of BitTorrent. So instead of paying ~$1.50 for an album, I’d pay nada. RIAA: take your pick. =) I should note that I spent more money on music last year than probably the preceding 3 years combined. The difference is that between buying music on AllOfMP3, my Y! Music Unlimited sub, and buying discounted used CD’s from Amazon and GEMM, I feel as though I’ve gotten tremendous bang for my buck.
As of 1:00 AM ET on May 18, 2006 you still cannot place orders on allofmp3. When attempting to do so the message comes up:
“Ordering is temporarily not available.
The site is undergoing some technical restructuring.
We work hard to resume the service. We expect to put back all the functions shortly.
Please, accept our appologies for this ongoing disruption.”

I’m tired of all the problems around allofmp3. They do not give me my money back, do not let me download music. So I’ve researched a little and found a new service similar to aom at http://www.mp3sale.ru
They use the same laws and they are cheaper

Dustin, good catch. I hadn’t actually tried to buy a track.
MusicNerd, I still have a balance at allofmp3 but I’ll check out mp3sale.ru
