So out of the four sites I review, what is the best for me to use based on their payment method options?

Well, as you might expect, each one allows you to pay slightly differently.

MP3Million  
This site takes MasterCard, Visa, Visa Electron (handy for the students among us!), Maestro, uKash, PaySafe and DaoPay. The minimum top up is €19.95.

LegalSounds 
This site accepts four methods: MasterCard, Visa, uKash and PaySafe. Their minimum top up amount is is $25.00.

MP3Panda 
This site accepts just Visa and MasterCard. The minimum top up is quite high at $29.95.

MP3va and Soundike 
Both of these sites accept MasterCard and Visa only. They did offer PayPal, but this has since been removed. I have contacted them about this and it is due to be added soon. Watch this space! The minimum top up on both sits is $14.95.

MP3va have always been one of the better sites because they accepted PayPal as a payment method. They have now removed this feature from their site. You can still pay by MasterCard and Visa.

I contacted them about this, and you can still pay by PayPal. You need to go into PayPal, click ‘send money’. Send it to webmaster@freshlyrics.net with your email address as the description. Once you’ve done this, you need to send them a quick email saying what PayPal account they will be receiving money from, the amount (minimum of $25.00 still applies) and what MP3va account you want refilled.

They will do the rest. So if you’re uncomfortable about giving out credit card details, there is a way round this. I’m sure if we contacted LegalSounds, MP3Million or Soundike, they have the same sort of procedure in place to allow you to pay by PayPal.
