MP3Sale review
MP3Sale has a very impressive catalog, containing over 2 million tracks, access to a help forum, and prices of 0.10 euro per track. The main difference and what makes site impressive is a large number of payment options and a closely monitored help forum.
MP3Sale offers a variety of payment methods: credit cards, paypal, amex, discover, electronic debit, pay-by-phone (or cell phone for the Americans), or charge to your home phone bill, or a whole host of e-currencies (e-gold, Webmoney, e-silver, etc).
All tracks cost 0.10 euro. However, if you purchase entire albums, you often get about 20% discount! Catalog is updated daily and they add new releases and hot bestsellers from Top lists around the world. MP3Sale has a flexible discount policy. For example, if you deposit $50 you get $50+$20=$70 on your account. The same works for any deposit - just check the rates at the site.
Most of the songs are encoded at 192kbps and greater, you can't choose bitrate though, but you can find the same song with a better quality by searching deeper in the site (look for the same song in different albums). I was able to find some tracks (and albums) encoded at various rates up to 320kbps. While that isn't always a big problem, the customer should take care when choosing albums for download: As long as you pay attention to what bitrate you are downloading at, this site is really excellent.
You can listen up to 30 sec preview of every song presented on the site. This is very useful if you are not sure about the song you're looking for
