AllOfMp3.com is an interesting approach to downloading music. and definitely worth checking out.

- Russian
- Legal (so far). They have distribution licenses for everything from Russian Organization for Multimedia and Digital Systems
- Any encoding at any bitrate from MP3 through to full CDA including Ogg, WMA
- No DRM. Copy the resulting files to whatever media you need on whatever machine you use.
- Streamed LoFi free samples for everything
- Big and growing library
- Pay per Mb of download. So if you go for high quality you pay more or get fewer songs.
- Payment via Paypal, direct credit card and a few others.
- 1 gigabyte costs $10. The costs are a mixture of $0.01 and $0.02 per Mb. So a full copy of a CD in original CDA format is approx $11.

Is this the future of music distribution? This is actually much more innovative than iTunes. I really can't see any downsides. Except maybe to the record companies getting less money than they hoped. [from: JB Ecademy]
