Hello - I'm a newbie

coolqtmom · 07:46 AM

I am so glad to have found this forum. My internet provider provides Yahoo! Jukebox for free, but to do a lot, you are supposed to upgrade to Rhapsody. Wow! Really expensive! So, my husband told me about his using AllTunes for my 40th Birthday several years ago. So, I go to the site, download it again, and sign on with his old sign on. Guess What? He has a balance! Woohoo! Well, with $5.26, I downloaded 22 songs - so fun! So, I go to add money to my account, and, surprise, not accepting payments.

So, I go looking online and find this awesome site. But, I now realize, I have A LOT to learn about downloading music and payments, etc...

So, here it goes... Can anybody give me a basic Cliff Notes version of Alltunes, AllMP3, Sparks, etc...? Is there any round-about way to add money to my account? I have tons of Bookmarks, and I am itching to buy more.

I wrote to Alltunes several times and FINALLY got a response. Below is my original e-mail and their response:

So, any advice would be greatly appreciated - I am addicted now to downloading music and making my own cd's and loading up my mp3 player!

Hi Cooqtmom and welcome to the forums.

I am glad you found us and I have to say we a pretty friendly bunch who aim to help where we can.

As for funding your AllTunes/mp3sparks account the only way at present is by using CMPASS here. You can by direct from CMPASS using PayByCall where you dial a premium rate phone number for a set length of time and at the end of the call you are presented with the PIN codes to enter into sparks.

An easier method is to buy the PIN codes direct from a couple of forum members here jazzy639 and phobozad - both very reputable people. Obviously they charge you a small fee for their trouble but this is made up by the bonus you get from AllTunes/Sparks.

Personally I have tried all three and I prefer to buy my codes from jazzy and/or phobozad.

Take a look at these threads and they will give you all the information you need.

I hope this helps and good luck.

I know it's bad when you can't fund your habit!

Hi coolqtmom and welcome to the forum.

You're in luck

We have two forum members of excellent repute being Phobozad and Jazzy 639. Both of these fine members have made it their mission to help people fund their accounts by selling Pin Codes with which you can fund your Alltunes account.

You can read what others say about them and how to contact them to buy Pin Codes here:
