Morning,

I've been happily adding funds to MP3 Sparks and downloading via alltunes on my PC. UK based.

No doubt there's an answer but I cant access MP3 Sparks to add monies and a few songs i've got to download do not download.

Believe there is a problem and would appreciate an understanding of if it's likely to be fixed and when?

many thanks.

Hi George10


And so do we... But unfortunately we don't

But as soon as we know we're going to post it the forum - you can be sure of that

In the meantime you should try out some of the other Russian/Ukrainian online music stores: www.RuTunes.com and http://www.aom3.org/forum/26363-post231.html - many of them are quite excellent

And welcome to the forum by the way

Hi George10.


Downloading tracks from an album is very easy: check the boxes of the tracks you want or alternatively tick the “Check All” button. Then press “Purchase Now”. After doing this the page loads again and links to the bought tracks will have appeared as “vinyl record” icons. You can download them then and there or choose to do this later from the “My Music” link in the “Welcome” section.


The best part is that, when you have actually downloaded the music to your computer, the tracks will remain in the “Downloads History” folder indefinitely, which means that if you accidentally delete the tracks from your hard drive, you will be able to download the tracks again and again with no extra charge.


From time to time you might want to add the tracks to your “Shopping Cart” instead (if you, for instance, want to consider if you really want to buy those tracks after all). But if you decide to buy them after all, then you press the “Shopping Cart” button in the “Welcome” section on top of the page, tick the boxes of the tracks, you want to purchase and press the “Buy Selected” button.


If you choose not to buy tracks placed in the “Shopping Basket” after all, then you press the “Remove Selected” button instead.


Even if MP3Sale doesn't have their own download application (like allTunes, CDonPC, GoMusic or LegalSounds), downloading is extremely easy, if you use one of these three methods:


1. MP3Sale's very own zip function, which works like this: When your purchased tracks/albums are placed in either "Paid Tracks" or "My Music," you left click the zipped "vinyl record" icon situated above the purchased tracks and in less than a minute, you can right click and download a zipped archive containing all your tracks.


2. Left click the "Get Files List" (For Download Manager) link, which will provide you exactly that.


3. If you use Firefox with the FlashGot plug-in, you can use any downloader to "FlashGot All" purchased tracks by right clicking anywhere in the "Paid Tracks" or "My Music" browser window - and then filter away the links that doesn't contain a MP3 file extension. I use Free Download Manager, which I can highly recommend for both speed and ease of use. Get Free Download Manager here: Free Download Manager | Download


Before you download anything, you have the option to pre-listen to the first 30 seconds of the song in rather decent quality. You just left click the name of the song. Listening to only the first part of a song could be an annoying experience. On, for instance, MusicMP3 you get to hear 10 seconds of the beginning, the middle and the end respectively, which is much better - but MP3Sparks remains the undisputed champion with the option to listen to the whole track.


(Depending on your internet connection) downloading from MP3Sale is pretty fast. I usually get download speeds between 1000 and 2500 KB/sec, which means it usually takes mere seconds to download a track (depending on the size of the file).

Hi George10.


Maybe gm can help you with your iTunes importing problem. I don't use iTunes myself, so I'm afraid I don't know what to do

Unfortunately (in this case) gm doesn't use iTunes either. In fact the only thing he knows about iTunes is that it has (had?) a nasty habit of making people's DVD drives vanish when it was installed on a PC. Sorry.

Try this:

1. Open iTunes and have it displaying your 'Music' library (not a playlist). Reduce the window so that it takes up only half your screen.
2. Open the folder with your downloaded music in it and reduce it's window' if necessary, so you can see it alongside your iTunes window.You should be able to see your individual music files.
3. Right click on one of the files and, while holding down the mouse key drag the file over to the iTunes window. (If the mouse pointer becomes a little box with a 'plus' sign, we are looking good.) Release the mouse key and 'drop' the file into iTunes. A dialogue box should appear briefly showing that the file is being added to your iTunes library.
4. If you cannot see the file in your library, use the search function at the top right of the Itunes window to find it.

If the above works for a single file you can use the same procedure to 'drag and drop' a whole folder of music files exactly the same way.

Hope this helps
