DKGreat shop I'm never going to buy another physical cd again. Not after I have found MP3va. It contains a lot of artists within a variety of genres, its really cheap and the user interface is nice and non-tecnical. I was happily surprised when I recieved a small present from mp3va on my birthday. Only 3 dollars, but still it corresponds to two albums, and the thought also counts. The only critique so far is, that they didn't accept visa last time I tried to add money to my account. But "with a little help from" support it was fixed with PayPal.

GBTerrible customer service Terrible customer service. Wouldn't answer any questions regarding the new site, and the replies were riddled with spelling and grammar errors. One operator even claimed to be the manager. Had to report him, which really angered the operator (they're from the Ukraine. Please be careful).

AULots of tunes, limited pay options. Plenty of tracks there, so a tick for that (if you're ok with the legal grey area & artists definitely not getting anything), and the mp3 quality is decent, but if you don't have a VISA card (or more obscure Onepay, or a giftcard) then the show's over, no other way to pay. Also it requires a minimum $15 payment (goes onto your account as a credit). Both of these are things you discover right at the end of the process. Frustrating.

NLI think it's ILEGAL unfortunately A legal music store can't be that cheap first of all, second if you buy for example Katy Perry - Roar you will hear some noise at the beginning, wich indicate pirated/bad quality music, and it is poor taged, at the release date is "unknown" and so on...if you listen the same song on itunes or spotify it is nice and clean at that part i was talking about... But still, we have just the "moral" problem that the money don't reach the artist, other then that we should have no problem if we use this site, it's not our job to verify if they are legal or not... What i don't get, is why the autoryties allow this, why they ar not closing them up? there are hundreds of websites like mp3va...

CAAmazing selection at super low prices As other have said, mp3va is based in Russia and selling music that they don't have the legal rights to sell. That said, WHO CARES? Most of the artists i collect are dead, or sold their catalogues off to the mega companies, so they wouldn't be getting a dime of your money even if you bought their albums legally. The selection on mp3va is incredible, nearly 1 million albums are currently available, and you can find some incredibly rare artists on there. I've been a collector of obscure vinly rips for 20+ years and yet they have stuff on there that i haven't been able to find. I don't know where they're getting it, but i hope they continue to do so! My only complaint is their pay options are limited, no paypal, they prefer bitcoin, which makes sense considering their legal status. But i've had no problem with them. You can buy single tracks, full albums, complete discographies. It's a dream come true. The record companies screw the artists over anyway, so it's no loss for them.
