Hi George V.


I have made business with a lot of these Russian sites and I have never felt like I was dancing with an ice bear

If it wasn't for the American MAFIAA threatening and/or bribing American credit card companies Visa and MasterCard to make it hard to make payments to these (in Russia and the Ukraine) perfectly legal sites, you wouldn't have had to pay through a canal of 3-4 different people/companies

How come you chose to use such a relatively complicated method as WebMoney instead of for instance PayPal, which is pretty straight forward

For nine months none of our other forum members have reported ever being victims of payment fraud by these guys

I must agree with my esteemed colleague about the above.

I personally find it a pleasure dealing with the Russian sites
and their desire to please..

Not thrilled with the bear statement myself ....

Other forum members? There are no forum members! There is never more than one or two people here. This whole discussion is mute since txtNation has been eliminated as an option at CMPass.

Like many other people, txtNation took my money, too. They apparently put through a couple of transactions for each new member (enough to build your trust)before they would screw you.

It is unfortunate that established music companies spend money fighting alternative distribution, instead of giving us what we want...

individual songs reasonably priced
our choice of format/quality
pre-tagged
no drm

If they can't create this product and other people can, then we will spend our money with those other people. A better solution is so obvious. Record companies, create the product we want!!!

The US phone monopoly fought digital transmissions over their phone lines for twenty years. They successfully made it illegal to connect a simple modem to their system, but everyone ignored their rules and the law. After twenty years they figured out how to provide the service customers wanted. With music companies, it has been ten years, so far, that they have fought to NOT to give us what we want. If it takes another ten years for them to figure out the changes they need to make, they will, hopefull, be gone!

If you are checking to find out about using the txtNation option to fund a CMPass account, as of 23 Jul 08, it is no longer an option.

They ripped off untold thousands! Hopefully, CMPass will find another way for customers to fund their accounts or mp3sparks will find another way for customers to successfully buy the product that they want.

I think you will find that the txtNation option disappeared from CMPASS a couple of weeks ago.

I had just paid txtNation $10 using LUUP and the password I received did not work - two previous ones worked fine. I still do not know if it was a txtNation problem or a CMPASS one.
txtNation seems to have a high profile presence on the web and they say they have 7000 clients on all continents so it would be a little strange if they were a scam, but you never can tell.

Bigbear, you have posted on a thread that is 7-8 momths old, things have moved on a bit.
There are plenty of members keeping an eye on here 247 from different countries, just because we are not logged on.

Some weeks ago I used Paypal and txtnation to add some $40 to my sparks account, no problems, I did not put anymore on because I have in excess of $250 with SIX different music sites from here, there is so much choice now just have a look round.
My personal favourites are sale, millisong, & golden, I only use sparks occasionly.

P.S. Keep an eye out for jazzy639 who was selling vouchers, see the other thread.

Hi BigBear and welcome to the forum


I can see that you have replied to something I wrote more than 7 months ago...


I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this either:
