With music services increasingly turning to DRM infested music files to squeeze every buck out of the customer, it comes as sweet surprise that a few sites out there do actually provide DRM free music at affordable prices. One such find is MusicMP3.ru which sells songs from about 4 to 15 cents depending on the length of the track. That’s quite an affordable price considering I’ve seen some sites charging close to a dollar for each song. And no, it’s not illegal, their faq page clarifies that they do in fact pay the licensing fees.
The Album Reviews give you a lot of background info which you probably won’t need but try out their sampler which you can use to hear a song before you buy it. I’ve bought a song from them and I’ve just played it on my computer and on my Discman. No DRM at all. Nice.
In case you’re one of those heavy downloaders you can try out their affiliate program where they will pay you for linking to them. The extra dough can be used to buy more music. An incredibly simple interface adds to the ease of use of the whole site. Check out their Music News section for an idea of what I’m talking about. Ignore the occasional grammar mistake since it’s a Russian site.
I’ve been finding it difficult to fund my account though. Presently, they don’t accept credit cards or PayPal. That leaves me with E-Gold which I have just exhausted. I’ve got to see if I’ve can fund my account off their affiliate program.
