Note: The most tricky part seems to be that you need to get hold of an invitational code to even use their site. A code that you might only be able to get after refilling your allTunes account one time using one of phobozad's AllPay pincodes (see 2). Cornutopian has made a small tutorial for American users here: http://www.aom3.org/forum/allofmp3-g...html#post13290

If you have PayPal or can get it, please check out the Simple steps posting mentioned above by clicking here:
http://www.aom3.org/forum/alltunes/9...ng-paypal.html

It details the exact steps to fund either your Alltunes or Mp3sparks account. It takes about two minutes, and you can refill them in $11 increments. I did it twice without any problem and others have also managed it.

If you are having trouble logging into MP3Sparks using your "old" AllOfMP3 username, then use this step by step guide to have your "old" account moved to MP3Sparks: http://www.aom3.org/forum/allofmp3-m...html#post21861



If you are able to log into MP3Sparks but are unable to get through the payment system to fund your account, then don't despair - there are several way to go



1. Use the Tor/Vidalia/Firefox funding trick, which Ashleyj has made a great post on: http://www.aom3.org/forum/funding-yo...html#post11706 (post 13) - and so did Lazycat: http://www.aom3.org/forum/funding-yo...html#post12575 (post 13)

Note 1: At the moment ALL Visa transactions seem to get declined

Note 2: Be sure to find an IP-address, which takes you to Ecentru (instead of Chronopay), where you can still use your Mastercard

Note 3: If you only have a Visa credit card but not a Mastercard, then get a Virtual Mastercard: Payment | Wirecard AG

2. Get an AllPay pincode from forum member phobozad using PayPal or MoneyBookers: allTunes Gift Certificate Request

The whole process from your request till you actually get the pincode from phobozad currently takes less than two days.

This pincode you can use to refill your allTunes balance (within minutes) and thereby your MP3Sparks balance, which is one and the same



3. If you have tried to fill your account using XROST.biz in the past, you might be able to go a somewhat similar route using CMPASS.com: :: CMPASS Prepaid Card

This excellent post by veganfred explains how to use PayPal on the CMPASS-site: http://www.aom3.org/forum/alltunes/9...html#post16163



4. If you are an American, you can download a PayPal plug-in, which will generate a temporary MasterCard credit card number at the same time you check out at your favourite online shopping site: https://www.paypal.com/paypalplug-in

You can read more about the PayPal plug-in here: PayPal Plug-In - Secure Online Shopping with PayPal Plug-In and here: PayPal Plug-In Adds Security to Holiday Shopping and here: The PayPal Blog: Introducing the PayPal Plug-In



Note: That this is ONLY an option, if you're an American



5. Buy an unlinQ-voucher using E-Gold or Money Order: unlinQ - Order

Sorry I've not read all posts on the subject - but here's a question: are Memphis Members privileged enough to pay with Visa, or are they out of luck as well and must use other cards or other methods?

At the moment all Visa transactions get declined - Memphis ones included

[Acordis]

And Maestro cards for us in the UK

(Well me anyway)

Someone out there using allpay.cc?

I guess they sell vouchers for alltunes. My problem is the russian language so I can't go through it.

Allpay.cc is where you go to top up your balance with webmoney.

First you must establish a webmoney account at WebMoney - On-line Payment Solution. Then you have to fund that account (easier from Europe. A bit of a hassle from North America). THEN when you have money in your webmoney purse, you go to allpay.cc, figure out the Russian, and buy a pincode.

More detailed instructions can be found under item number 4 here: Museekster Music Services: How to pay Allofmp3

Thanks,

I have a Webmoney account and I can top up balance. On this way I add funds to my MP3STOR account yesterday. It works easy and fast.

I established a allpay.cc account with a little help of bublefish. But it doesn't work when you try to log in.

Thanks for the link. Perhaps it works for me.

Oh, also you have to use IE. Allpay.cc will not complete a transaction with Firefox. It must use active x.
