Russia's AllofMP3.com Revived at AllTunes.com

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on July 6, 2007 - 1:41pm.

Los Angeles - Just as notorious Russian music download store AllofMP3.com appeared to go offline for good last week, the site's parent company launched a new site at AllTunes.com, where AllofMP3.com's six million users may access their existing accounts and download cheap songs via a software client, Computerworld reported.

Despite AllofMP3.com's contention that it was a fully-licensed music retailer, the site drew legal action from the U.S. music industry, and was cited by the U.S. Trade Representative as an obstacle to Russia's entry to the World Trade Organization.

Credit card processing for the site was disabled before its shutdown.

Computerworld reported that AllofMP3.com users can spend existing credits on an AllTunes.com account, but are prohibited from adding additional funds.

The problem seems to be that

The problem seems to be that you can't download the software (i.e. the exe you get is only 16kb whereas it ahould be 3megs). Consequently, the setup doesn't run. Toranomon

Actually, alltunes.com still

Actually, alltunes.com still works fine and I was able to add money to my account by logging into the website. They still take Mastercard.

The next alternatives

When you can't use Alltunes anymore (or you run out of credit there), there are still plenty of options: check out www.songboom.com. There are at least a dozen other music providers similar to AllTunes/AllOfMP3 reviewed there, but most of them don't have anything to rival the fancy AllTunes downloader.
