Frunze and shadman: Many thanks for your assistance! I can log into Mp3sparks just fine. Now I just have to wait for that magical and elusive pay-by-credit-card window to open...

It is now not recognising my login and denies I have confirmed my email when I ask for a password to be sent via the email I registered with. Perhaps it is tech difficulties - (facebook is down too huh!!). Are you experiencing difficulties with log-in to MP3Sparks?

You can choose to pay right after registration but you don't have to pay to register (even if there wouldn't be much sense in registering, if you were not to fill your account afterwards).

Can you log in through the allTunes application?

And I could be black or even asian, you can't tell by my name, can you?

Maybe I am even a man posing as a woman.

One thing I am not is RIAA though.

I'll tell you one thing, my dear loveable Apple and shoe snob -

By wanting to show off you pearly white headphones, you are doing more than just indicating that you are in possession of an iPod.

You are also demostrating for all the world to see that you are NOT a New Yorker!!

Were you a New Yorker - you'd be doing the exact opposite - you'd be carefully trying to disguise that you are riding the subway with an exensive toy.

Use Tor/Vidalia/Firefox if you have problems getting to the payments page (or one of the other options described here): http://www.aom3.org/forum/funding-yo...s-account.html

I paid $25 to 'fill my balance' or to 'enter the site' or to 'start downloading tunes' - whichever you call it - the site has my money - I have two downloaded tunes - and it is not letting me log-in. Even if I have been forgetful and put the wrong log-in you would have thought that 'forgot password' would email me the correct password and confirm, rather than 'Your e-mail "f....@hotmail.com" wasn't confirmed. The system cannot send passwords to unconfirmed e-mails." It is definately a confirmed email - the link was sent to me - and I clicked on it - and entered the site and bought two tunes. I don't know how else to access the site. The 'contact us' option crashes too.

Hey,

seeing another phenomenon, sitting here in germany, good old heidelberg.
Mp3Sparks.com does not work, mp3sparks.com does;
a lot of links inside have www in front, so they don't work;
preview songs don't do;
and its slow.

Any hints?

Greetings, fg

Try to download allTunes: Download allTunes software for PC or Smartphone

Install the application and try to log in there. If you are able to log in through allTunes, then I bet Frunze and shadman are able to get Assistance to take a look at your MP3Sparks account.

They are just having some temporary problems - don't you worry

Finally the web-site recognises my email address and is going to send me password confirmation. I am checking my email account for a password reminder from MP3Sparks admin. Perhaps technical difficulties...10 minutes and no password (yawn)....I give up until tomorrow.

First of all, I wouldn't be riding subway; I'd be driving my snobby car.

And who knows, maybe I am just a poser and have a 512kb sansa player that's in my pocket and only pearly white headphones are visible.

And I AM a New Yorker!! (at the moment, tragically displaced).

I think it's the fever talking anyhow; I am still sick as a dog.
