This time to Iran, and very slow...again. also, when I tried to log on to check if USA Mastercards were accepted again, the connection was terminated.

Are there any other shops that can use allTunes, and accept USA Mastercard via a safe credit/debit card processor?

Few stores have their own downloader (e.g. Soundsbox), but allTunes is only associated with "Allofmp3" (Sparks/MM).

They might not be moving again, as their dns has both an ip from moldova and one from iran. Perhaps they are just establishing multiple servers for load balancing (via round robin) or just for fault tolerance/redundancy. It seems the site loads very slowly sometimes and then quickly other times, which leads me to believe they are trying to do a round robin load balance. Sometimes you will get connected to the faster (Moldovian) server and sometimes the slower (Iranian) server. But thats just my $0.02 (which seems to be worth less every day).

I disagree. That was a good piece of info.

American record companies seem to be slowly recognizing the value of the MP3 format. If they'd agree to reasonable prices, I wouldn't need to use all kinds of unnecessary fundage steps to get my music (i.e.: using my credit card to pay PayPal to pay WebMoney to pay AllPay.cc to pay CMPass to pay Mike 'n' Joe's payment processor to pay one of these MP3 shops) at the low priced out-of-the-US MP3 sites. Direct payment with my card is way, way easier, and I wouldn't be worried about security.

Why is it that Mp3Fiesta takes direct credit card payments from US customers, and Mp3sparks does not?
