ok cool... well I went to walgrees to pick up a prepaid visa card but I think after this one use I wont use that anymore... they charge 5 bucks to activate it and then 4.95 a month just for having it. thats kinda bs to me...

just as I got home and was thinking I wish there was a way to use paypal on there... I went to paypal site and found they have a new plugin for your browser.

So for places that dont take paypal yet... all you do is go to the page where you input your Card info and then click ' generate secure card' and it give you a one time use card number that will with draw from paypal ( which is linked to my checking account ) and this way wont reveal your personal info




so lavamus is it!! =D

check that method out if you have paypal.

Hi BL4CKL1S73D.

Back when it was still possible for the more "common" MP3Sparks' members to replenish their accounts, we made a list of all the possible funding methods:

http://www.aom3.org/forum/23504-post78.html

As you can see (option #4) this PayPal plugin is only a viable option, if you are an American. PayPal has even made a video explaining how to use it.

If you're European or Australian, you can use a proxy server or VPN to fool PayPal to let you download the plugin - but unless your bank is addressed in The US, you can just forget about it

I hate that kind of discrimination from these big companies

Then just log into one of the other Lavamus Network stores... www.JustMusicStore.com for instance You can use the same username and password as you do, when you visit www.Lavamus.com


or one of these:

www.JeyMP3.com and www.MP3Legal.org and www.Isound.be and www.AllOffMP3.org and www.BoxMP3.net and www.MP3-Store.org and www.Tunes4U.org and www.ShoutMP3.com and www.YourMP3Top.com and www.LigaMusic.com and www.MP3ShopCart.com and www.MP3Walls.com and www.MusikTag.eu and www.MP3Aim.com and www.FileMP3Tune.com and www.Groove-Bay.com and www.MP3Lava.com and www.EngineMP3.com and www.MP3Royal.com and www.MP3Crown.com and www.MP3-Connect.com and www.MP3Vita.net and www.MP3Giga.net (all stores are part of the Lavamus network)

It doesn't always work like that. JustMusicStore was down for months last year and that didn't seem to disturb the other stores

I can access both www.Lavamus.com and www.JustMusicStore.com at the moment

I can access both Lavamus.com main page :: mp3 download and JustMusicStore.com :: mp3 download, buy mp3 music online, legal MP3 at the moment
Hmm thats odd. I can't access any of those sites at all. I just get teh 502 Bad Gateway error...wonder if its a backup in my router or something should I reset it?

I doubt that Lavamus and Skyline are affiliated. Skyline had more traffic. Put you on a place of site owner. If there were any problems with your major site wouldn't you try to restore the site that brings you more $$$ as soon as it's possible? But skyline remains inactive for 2 month already. The same with skyline sister site mp3xclusive. "Zed's dead, baby, zed's dead"...

But still lavamus network is growing and as for now few problems that I faced with some releases were solved very fast. I contacted site support requesting some info about tracklistings for some mixes. I was told that they are going to add this info to all fresh releases soon. Besides (GREAT NEWS! ) they are going to make live mixes FREE for users with certain amount on balance. I'm wondering why Lavamus has no representatives here?

I have a PayPal account, but I'm in Southamerica, so I guess that option won't work for me as per Solaris observation.

Thanks for the tip anyway.

Ahh, Lavamus is up and sound for me, as of right now.

Personally, I find Lavamus ok for downloading just the occasional track, but their prices for complete albums are expensive compared to the other sites.
