MP3 Download Site, ‘File Sharing Center’ is Feature-Rich, Yet Vague

Posted on February 8, 2007. Filed under: mp3 download sites review, mp3 music dowload sites review |

In the world of online downloading, size is everything, and the File Sharing Center claims to have the most downloadable files on offer, an amazing 90 million of them.

File Sharing Center offers the full range of downloads, as you’d expect, including top quality mp3 music downloads, tv shows, games, DVD quality movies and associated software. Unlike many other mp3 download sites, it also offers song lyrics to download, plus CD cover artwork, and tutorials, making it a good bet for those wanting to use file downloading to its full potential. It’s also compatible with both PCs and Macs (OSX), and you can also download programs for the Mac and Linux, a real bonus for the non-PC owner.

These extra features make File Sharing Center stand out from the crowd. After all, after downloading your high quality mp3 audio files, you’ll want to listen to them as often as possible.File Sharing Center gives you free software so you can burn your favourite albums to CD, and then download and print the covers too. No more searching through cds with hand written labels or worse, marker pen scrawled titles. You can pop your new cd into a case, add the cd cover, and it’s ready and easy to identify. The same is true for dvds, so you’ll never get your movies muddled again!Your mp3 download subscription to File Sharing Center also includes bonus software, and here again the team have made it easy to use. Unlike other sites, which give you the software and no clues as to how to use it, File Sharing Center provides online tutorials in all the software it provides, not just the process of downloading. If you’re still struggling, they offer a real live technical support team to help you out via email 7 days a week, from 9am ‘til 5pm, Eastern Standard Time (GMT-5). Once you sign up, access to the members’ area is immediate, where you can choose from a range of file sharing programs on offer. Each program has been rated, and File Sharing Center provides information on every file sharing program it offers, so you can choose the right one for your mp3 downloading needs.  A subscription to File Sharing Center costs $19.95 for a year, $24.95 for Standard Membership and $39.95 for Unlimited Membership. Unfortunately, this mp3 downloading site does not explain exactly what Standard membership gives you – two years’ membership perhaps? The site’s webmasters need to clarify this asap. In addition, you can opt in for software to copy DVDs to CDs for just $9.95 extra, and also to copy PS2 and Playstation 1 games for just $9.95 too. (These programs only work on PCS.) File Sharing Center has one final ace up its sleeve; the site has just added online radio stations, so you can choose the best radio from around the world! If they were more upfront about what their membership fees actually buy you before you have to pay with the plastic, this would be a fantastic site. The upside is, if you want to ask this kind of question, you can email the technical support team without having to be a member. So, I guess the moral of File Sharing Center is,….don’t ask, don’t get!

MP3 Download Site ‘MP3 Audio Station’ is all about Speed and Safety

Posted on February 1, 2007. Filed under: mp3 download sites review |

The first thing to hit you at MP3 Audio Station is the promise of UNLIMITED mp3 downloads, a very tempting proposition when the site gives you access to 800 million songs and videos.

MP3 Audio Station is a one-stop shop for all your mp3 downloads, including music, video and software, so it’s just as well they offer fast download speeds. Of course, fast download speed is only half the story; it’s no advantage to get your music fast if the audio quality of the music downloaded really sucks. With MP3 Audio Station, you get quality audio downloads at fast speeds, so you’ll be filling your mp3 player with quality tunes right from the start.

You buy your download music via subscription, and you can choose from three different levels of subscription:

–  $29.95 buys you one year of downloads, the equivalent of $2.49 a month.

–  $32.95 buys you two years’ worth of downloads, the equivalent of $1.37 a month

–  The best buy of all is the Unlimited Access deal at $34.95, which gives you unlimited music, video and software downloads for an indefinite period. (I resist using the words ‘forever,’ because who knows what’ll happen in the future of downloading anyway, right?) However, for those of us in the here and now with hungry mp3 players to fill, it’s a heck of a deal compared to the 79 cents a track at iTunes.

If you love your movies, you can upgrade to the Unlimited Full DVD and CD package, which deliver what it says for a mere $14.95 extra. Just remember that to successfully download movies, the faster your internet connection, the better.

Your subscription also includes a whole bundle of bonus software, and we’re not talking some backroom high school project stuff here. Software is included from developers such as LimeWire and Azureus, so you are really getting software that’s going to enhance your PC, not clog it up with useless blogware.

Included in the software bundle is a neat program that lets you burn your favourite tracks to CD in a matter of minutes, so you can travel with your tunes in your car without the need for an iTrip or similar mp3 broadcast device.  You can even burn movies to DVD, which is great for watching movies with friends on tv from the comfort of a sofa, rather than huddled around your PC monitor!

In these days of pop-ups and spyware, it’s reassuring to know that MP3 Audio Station promises no adware and no spyware (and so they should, thank you very much)! To make really sure of your PC’s security, MP3 Audio Station downloads also include anti-spyware and anti-virus software, so you can be sure that your PC remains safe when using MP3 Audio Station.

One thing to note; the deals at MP3 Audio Station and MP3 Musiq appear to be identical, and I suspect by the way the websites are laid out, the same owners might be behind both sites. However, the dedicated mp3 music download fan should keep an eye to check if one site ever decides to undercut the other in the future…
