Was talking about mp3Va.
Kathy, you don't understand how to use the service apparently. Hopefully you have figured it out by now.
Have been a user of mp3va for a few months now and REALLY wish i had found it before I had found lala. Imagine the money I could have saved! But I've never had a problem with mp3va
I just found Mp3va.com and I love it!
MP3VA now charging 10c a song. But PayPal option seems to have disappeared.
Only option I see now at MP3VA is "Pin Activation"
Bummer. I thoroughly enjoyed using their service in the past.
MP3va is seems more likable than legalsounds. Legalsounds sounds way too cheap. There has to be a catch... probaly prepaying and stuff. Plus i checked mp3va and it has more 2010 songs
Legalsounds is Brilliant. Ive downloaded hundreds of songs from them and I still havn't used up my $25 deposit.
I'd rather pay 9c US a song than $4 NZL a song on Itunes.
Oh and I can play songs from Legalsounds on my Xbox! :D Unlike crappy Itunes.
o yaromaafkernakerokke track please
MP3VA, mp3obsession.com, LegalSounds, & others that are related are NOT legal sites. They sell you the song & keep all the money for themselves. Nothing is passed on to the artist. I know, because I am an artist being ripped off by them!

they never said up front I had to deposit 30.00 I did not see that in the agreement I read it too. So I downloaded one album supposedly .15 per song and imagine my surprise when I checked my account and saw they had taken 30.00 I asked them if I have any albums available for download and they said I have the one I already downloaded and so it seems to me they are 30.00 per album if thats the only one I get for 30.00
