This is another Russian site but I have had little experience of it.  When I
first registered I was only able to download one track from the site.  On
registering I was given a 20 cents bonus to try it out.  After that I had
some trouble as I couldn't buy credit with my credit card.  They state they
do accept credit card payments but when you select that option you are told
that that option is not available at this time and to try again in a day or
two.  What you have to do is register with a site called CMPASS and there
buy E money.  You are given an ID number and a PIN number.  You then go back
to MP3 Sparks and put in both these numbers before you can establish a
balance or refill it.  I Have not done this as I am not sure of the company
where I buy this  e money and as I haven't done anything like that before, I
wasn't taking any chances.  Also, it is a lot of hassle and I just couldn't
be bothered with it.  I know Mandy and Trace have used this site and they
could most likely let you know what it is like.  The reason for all this
hassle is that MP3 Sparks was originally Allofant3 but they got themselves
involved with the Russian mafia and copyright law. The American's went after
them and put pressure on the card companies who no longer allow them to use
their cards.  After Allofant3 disappeared, MP3 Sparks took it's place but
the problems persist and I haven't used them yet.  Registration is again a
problem if you have no sighted help as you need to see a verification
number.  The site has disappeared and reappeared a couple of times but it is
up and running at the moment.  If it continually proves to be stable I may
at some point risk purchasing credit.  As I said, I haven't used the site
seriously apart from a trial download.  With this site though I understand
you can choose your bit rate and their albums are still 99 cents US each.
