Want to pay less for higher-quality? Sick of how iTunes is overcharging (what, we both know it)? If you haven’t heard of it already, Allofmp3.com is notorious for it’s services.

You might have established it by now – Allofmp3.com is a music store. It’s owned and operated in Russia, which explains why its prices are a fraction of North American ones. For example – right now you’re paying $0.99 to get Maroon 5′s new single. Oh, wait – why not surf over to Allofmp3.com and get it for $0.1 (or higher, depending on the quality)?

Allofmp3.com has been attacked with many a lawsuit from the RIAA (okay, so what else is new), but it’s actually survived. In fact, it’s planning to make it’s comeback very soon. See for yourself – surf over to Allofmp3.com right now!

So, do I use Allofmp3.com? In short answer, no. I do believe financially supporting my artists. And although Allofmp3.com claims to pay the recording labels (or actually, they have a sum of money waiting for them), the money doesn’t get accepted or just gets plain old ignored (same result, right?). Thus, the money still doesn’t get to the artists. I personally don’t think that’s right – so for the artists’ sake, I’m forced to use Spiral Frog (which has officially signed contracts with two major labels – something Allofmp3.com hasn’t accomplished) or buy off iTunes (signed contracts with all four major labels and a bunch of smaller ones).

What can I say – I believe in people getting recognized and rewarded for their hard work.
