Note: ALWAYS go to near the END of the thread to find the updated payment options




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

Thank you Karl...Went and checked it out and used the Invitation Code in little print....

Thanks again,

Quick update fellas (not sure if this will be working for everyone),

When I logged into MP3Sparks today and checked my balance, I noticed that I now had a new option to pay by CMPass. So, I went over to the CMPass website (thinking perhaps now the invitational thing was done with). And it is! I was able to register a new account without any invitational code. However, the CMPass payment options are somewhat weird/shady (call/text-message). Seems kind of pointless, but perhaps it will be useful to some.

We are still selling allTunes vouchers at unlinQ - Order

[solaris]

Follow these simple steps on Google as suggested by gluteus maximus:
A. Google for "www.mp3sparks.com/info/payments.shtml".
B. Click on the blue "Cached" link.
C. Click on the red "Refill Balance" button.
D. Enter your login credentials in the boxes in the middle of the page and click the red Enter button beside them.
E. Then carry on with your payment as normal.
F. The payment will show up in your balance at allTunes (or in MemphisMembers).

Note that this option may only work, if you use Tor/Vidalia/Firefox at the same time.

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


4. You could also try out a virtual credit card. Read more about those in these posts/threads:

This looks good. Should we not also add webmoney/allpay?

Should I just provide the link to Museekster: Museekster Music Services: How to pay Allofmp3 or can you make me a nifty little guide to do this?

Museeker for now. I might write it up later, but I don't have time now.

Hi,

I need to fund my account and have a question: am I better off funding my old account (which has a negative balance) and keeping my 3 year history, or starting a new account?

I recently got screwed over in the transition between Allofmp3 and MP3sparks. They lost or threw out my last pin code purchase, which ended up in my account having a negative balance.

My first thought is just to start a new account, but I'm not sure what the value of my history (about $250 over 3 years) is.

Anyone have any thoughts?
