Music for Masses – listen to music in a new way and for free!

The AllOFMP3.com team is proud to present a new service - Music for Masses!

Music for Masses is a program player for listening to music from the AllOFMP3.com catalogue for free. At the moment the player is being tested and is available to users in an alfa-version. To listen to a song a user should have an account with the site, download and install the Music for Masses player and download the song in free mode. The only limitation is that connection to the Internet is necessary. Initially the program is available for Microsoft Windows. A MAC version will come out in few weeks.

Is the service down? It is impossible to log in for about 24 hours now (as of 24 Oct. 2006 13:29 GMT)

2. by Phairphair, 24 October 2006, 11:44

In English, it should be called "Music For The Masses". "Music For Masses" does not make sense.

3. by music_news, 24 October 2006, 13:28

we did not mean any masses in particular. Just masses and it's a an advertising headline anyway.

4. by Alwaysa Rodriguez, 26 October 2006, 08:55

Is this for different church services?

5. by kahn, 26 October 2006, 10:27

Is this Free or not?

6. by un, 26 October 2006, 10:36

From D&G ?

7. by Walt, 26 October 2006, 17:53

I try to play a song I download and I always get the file is corrupt. I retried another song and reinstalled the player... Is it no longer working?

8. by walt, 26 October 2006, 18:31

I tried on my home machine and it works fine. Still can not get to work on the work machine where I really want it. Any ideas?

9. by Toby, 27 October 2006, 11:46

The internet-connetion of MfM (Music for Masses) ist rather unstable. If I try to load a web page in my browser while playing songs on MfM, the track played begins to lag.

10. by Seymour the Fractal Cat, 28 October 2006, 02:20

Music for Masses downloaded ok but won't boot up. I don't have any problem downloading the free tracks but because the player won't work I can't listen to them.

Is this likely to be fixed & what are the minium system requirements?

11. by Superdave, 28 October 2006, 09:05

Any chance of releasing a Mac and/or Linux version soon?

12. by FWarning, 28 October 2006, 11:44

Hi, like this new gadget very much and have a few questions to the devs.

First is the skin, don't like it very much, going to improve it in further versions?

Second are the features of the player - are you going to add, for example, a shuffle function?

Third is the question of the purpose of the app, are you going to built in ads and make the player more comfortable for maxing your profits or is this ment to be only used for preview purpose? Or do you someday, if CC companys continue bitching you, be totally free for everybody but only offer DRM protectet media?

looking forward to your answer

Why is there no mention anywhere of the fact that it imposes a limit on the number of tracks that can be downloaded in free mode?

14. by listener, 31 October 2006, 12:29

There is a DOWNLOAD LIMIT for tracks for MUSIC FOR MASSES, wich is not stated anywhere!! Why dont you guys tell the customers??? And what is the exact limit, is it a blocked track amount or a time period? Some info would be nice, allofmp3 people!!!

15. by Peta, 1 November 2006, 15:47

Hi,

I also experienced a download limit, I downloaded 6 albums and now it says i reached the limit !

To me this all looked more like a publicity stunt to get some attention !

16. by love_AllOfMP3, 1 November 2006, 16:22

Greate service - but did not know there was a download limit. I tested my tracks on a computer system that I wiped clean now I cannot download any more tracks. Had I known of the limit, I would have careful secured my downloads. Help us allofmp3. :)

17. by DaveUK2006, 4 November 2006, 02:38

I have to say, considering we are being allowed to download music FREE OF CHARGE there are a lot of ungrateful people out there! Jesus... if you don't want to take up the offer of generousity without being gracious, go to HMV!

And I have not encountered any download limit and have downloaded at least 12 albums so far, so not sure what you guys are doing wrong!

18. by Artesan, 8 November 2006, 20:29

Какие же вы все-таки молодцы. Так держать. Постоянное развитие сервиса - ваш несомненный плюс, который поможет удержать клиентов, если вдруг придется платить правообладателям по-настоящему.

19. by SomeGuy, 10 November 2006, 08:08

"Music for masses" in English means music for Catholic Church services. "Music for the Masses" is the correct term for music for "the people" (meaning people in general). Of course "Music for the Masses" is also the name of a (very good) Depeche Mode album (maybe that's why allofmp3 uses the alternative name?). Or maybe they want to be grammatically incorrect so that the phrase will be memorable?

Anyway, I guess I'll have to give this program a try, since allofmp3 won't take credit card payments now and xrost doesn't work. :(

20. by brian, 11 November 2006, 08:05

I'm getting bad gateway everytime i try to log in.

21. by gus, 11 November 2006, 12:15

get a "bad gateway" window when i attempt to log in also. service is knocked off?

22. by MusicAce, 11 November 2006, 19:48

I keep getting "Bad Gateway" also. Whats the problem? And why the download limit?

23. by tim, 11 November 2006, 20:27

Same "bad gateway error". Apparently it's broken...

24. by claude, 11 November 2006, 21:19

'Bad Gateway' started yesterday evening aroung 21:00 GMT and since no more music for (the) masses ! No comment from allofmp3 until now !?

25. by jo, 11 November 2006, 22:19

Same deal, any ideas on when it will work again?>

26. by Bryan, 12 November 2006, 03:25

It won't even start up for me. I can download a song no problem, but the player won't even open so I can listen to it. I guess I'll have to wait until this is out of beta.

The limit information is up on the site. They say the download limit depends on how much you spend. If you never spend a dime on this site, the limit is 100 songs. For every $1 you spend, you can download 10 more free songs. It's a good service. This way you can download an album and see if you like it.

27. by Alfie, 12 November 2006, 18:59

Limit?! Is this new? I've been behaving responsibly, and not attempting to download the entire AllOFMP3 catalogue. If the limit is new, it looks like I should have tried to get as much as possible, before it was introduced. I was using "Music for Masses" as a better form of preview, and downloading the tracks I liked, at a decent quality. Looks like that's gone out of the window. I've dully un-installed "Music for Masses".

And, will people quit going on about the grammar. So, it's a mistake, but an understandable one. Russian doesn't have definite or indefinite articles - no "a" or "the". You can't really expect someone whose first language is Russian to appreciate that "the masses", when meaning "the common, average man or woman", is idiomatic, and that you can't remove the "the" and retain its meaning.

28. by Windows VISTA, 12 November 2006, 21:53

Please fix it, that is compatible with Windows VISTA!

MUSIC FOR MASSES ALPA VERSION 0.66 is hanging at 0:32min!!!

31. by Markus Wehrum, 15 November 2006, 11:48

Unfortunately MfM seems not to be working with the proxy servers here on work. Is there any workaround (e.g. command line parameters) or will there be a fix in future releases?

32. by Jay Moynihan, 15 November 2006, 12:15

It's working fine for me. Two things about the player; need to add "Add All Tracks" and also need to be able to select a separate download folder from allofmp3 explorer. Random play would be nice.

This service will be increasing my purchases as I will happily try more new artists. But for me it is not a substitute for the high-quality downloads I have been purchasing for 3 years. Still miss the PayPal service though.

33. by PDA, 17 November 2006, 18:37

Apparently, I cannot use MusicForMasses due to a proxy connection. Seems impossible to set the any proxy parameters. Will be possible in the next (not Beta) version?

34. by D, 19 November 2006, 15:07

It downloads, it installs, but it won't boot for me.
What are the system requirements?

35. by vadimmakarov, 20 November 2006, 01:21

Желательно написать к плейеру системные требования. Я бы не стал скачивать, если бы вы указали, что под NT не работает.

Про название сервиса англоязычные товарищи правы. Если вы сами еще не поняли, что язык у вас на уровне советской английской спецшколы (как в известном монологе сатирика), то вам это сообщаю. Подобные корявости встречаются во всех текстах на сайте. Понимать не мешает, но что их писал русский — видно сразу.

36. by vadimmakarov, 20 November 2006, 01:27

P.S. Впрочем, если исправлять не хотите — то можете рассматривать английский с характерными ошибками как элемент вашего фирменного стиля. Они в США так говорят, опуская предлоги, именно когда хотят симитировать русскую речь (в шутках In Soviet Russia... и т.п.).

37. by dj, 22 November 2006, 07:47

help! i want to pay and download music!!

how can i pay? you don't take credit cards anymore!

38. by ted rogers, 22 November 2006, 17:29

You lot should stop moaning!! who gives a sh*t about the 'the'. And if you dont like the service allofmp3 gives you, f*ck off to itunes.com....

39. by Steve, 25 November 2006, 12:50

How do I get songs onto my mp3 player?
we seem to have run out of options to buy songs which can then transfer to mp3 player eg.lack of credit card support and now no xrost option?
Any help appreciated or link to where I can go for help...

40. by Mark, 26 November 2006, 16:56

Help too!!

How do you re-fill your balance? Does X-frost work. It looks like its a diners card or nothing. Any advice.

41. by superX, 26 November 2006, 23:19

would be very nice if there would be a linux version. Your service is very cool

42. by Ramo, 27 November 2006, 19:49

Read the blogs in other forums if you're having problems using Xrost.
It's still working fine, you just have to post the link you find there into your browser

43. by Steve, 28 November 2006, 11:43

Ramo, please can you do me a huge favour and post the xrost link for payment here or point me in the right direction, I'm really struggling to find it. Any help really appreciated, Thanks

44. by Ramo, 28 November 2006, 14:18

Dear Steve,
Go to blog (The online press conference). Then to comment 95.
It starts with HTTP//
Copy all of this into the address bar of Internet explorer, hit the enter button and you will be taken to allofmp3's xrost refill balance screen. I suggest you all ready have a pin code and claim id at hand to proceed. I just tried the link again and it still works.
Hope this helps
Ramo

PS I have money in my account, but at present still cant download anything because of (scheduled maintenance)? anybody any ideas of what that means.

45. by unit3021, 28 November 2006, 17:39

It seems to me that allofmp3 is shuting down and that they will run with all are money (sad)

46. by mia ale, 30 November 2006, 07:28

Ordering is temporarily disabled
We are sorry, but the ordering is currently disabled.

50. by Dave, 20 December 2006, 11:12

I'm having a frustrating time with Allofmp3. A couple of weeks ago my access to add to my balance was stopped. Message - "please contact technical support". I got very unhelpful answers to my queries. Then, I got a reply - "we have recieved chargeback on your account from xrost. Please contact with support xrost". Several attempts to communicate with Allofmp3 support resulted in the same message being repeated. Then - $45.00 removed from my balance (my last 3 iCard purchases in November 2006), putting me in the negative!
I have tried communicating with Allofmp3 again (no help, just telling me go to xrost), Xrost (no reply), Click & Buy (3 times, no reply). Frustrating and upsetting! Even if my account was unfrozen and I could add to my balance I'm wondering if adding to it will be snapped up by Allofmp3 as monies owing. And my credit card has definitely been debited for the xrost iCards I bought via Click & Buy.
Anyone else having problems? Its starting to look as if I won't be able to purchase off Allofmp3 again, for no good reason I can think of. So I feel as if I have been ripped off by $45.00.
A shame that Allofmp3 seem to be unwilling to help get this sorted - especially since I suspect Xrost is very closely linked to them!

51. by Max, 22 December 2006, 00:22

There are no problems if you did not charge back the transaction. Normal procedure with suspend account. I had it.They will unblock the account only then when you will settle this problem with xrost.

Anyone knows why the free mode function is not available?

53. by Joe Wilson, 23 December 2006, 08:56

54. by Jon, 24 December 2006, 02:30

Ya, where is the freemode selection? Any info would be great

55. by Virgil, 24 December 2006, 05:56

HI new to allofmp3 here. I cant get in on why there are so many people whinning about such a coolervice. First where else can you get virus free downloads at 17 cents each, second who gives you free listening rights to low quality but full songs, last this site has music I can't find anywhere else so I say put up or shut up, pay and quit whinning or just take your ball and go home Geesh!

56. by FREAKFUNK, 27 December 2006, 03:41

CAN SOME PLEASE HELP!!!!!

where is the free mode gone? it won't let me download the free music for the allmp3 player? Has the service stopped?

57. by funkapus, 27 December 2006, 11:21

What happened to the freemode? I can't get anything new into MusicForTheMasses now.

58. by Downplay, 30 December 2006, 23:27

Looks like the free mode was finally cracked so users could play the .mp3x on any player. My guess is AllofMP3.com got wind of this and shut it down.

59. by Thomas, 2 January 2007, 13:01

Allofmp3 crew just told me free mode was shut down. Probably because of the successive cracking atempts, or the bandwidth consumption.

62. by Reubenranzo, 25 January 2007, 14:34

Problems
1. Cannot play any samples on allofmp3.
2. Cannot put any tracks into My Basket and hence nothing in My Downloads.
Can anyone suggest solutions. I have been using the site successfully for 2 years so please don't suggest I'm doing it incorrectly.
Observation - no mew albums for several days now - is this righjt or is it part of my problem?

63. by DC, 25 January 2007, 23:46

No new albums posted in over a week...Is the site in trouble?

64. by daywalker, 6 February 2007, 23:20

alright guys, just wondering if anyone knows how to add money onto allofmp3.com? i have been using Xrost a few times (last time early December) but i can no longer find the link on this site, and on the xrost site it says its temporarily down.

any ideas?

thanks for any help

65. by Vladimir, 9 February 2007, 12:25

Hello guys,
I cannot play any samples anymore. Do I miss any new codec on my PC? I tried to play directly from the web and also from downloaded catalogue. All the time I receive an error "unknown file format". Recently I downloaded Xvid codec but I believe it shall not be the reason. Anyone knows what happened?

66. by smeggie903, 13 February 2007, 20:47

Sample listening has not worked for several days now. At least let us listen to a 30 second sample like iTunes does. The full preview was better, but if you aren't going to let us do that then how will we know what songs to download? Are you making changes?

67. by jcweasley, 14 February 2007, 03:27

try here. worked last time i used it.

68. by Jack Spratt, 16 February 2007, 04:12

how long has Xrost been "performing a scheduled server maintenance" ???
they say service will be restored in 48 hours , but it's been a couple weeks since I've been getting this messege . I don't see any way to e-mail Xrost suport ?

69. by jannik, 18 February 2007, 01:24

i cant download it! wehn i open the music for amsses page, there is only the instruction text! no link for download!

Xrost looks like its shut down permanent! Any other way of getting 19 pin code from Ukash onto all tunes?

71. by Henry, 26 February 2007, 16:11

Yeah, I have not been able to access xrost for a few weeks now any help in converting UKASH in an acceptable form would be appreciated......

72. by Duke, 9 April 2007, 19:18

How is allofmp3 doing ANY business? I can't use Xrost. Chronopay has a note on its site saying it will only work with mp3 music services that hold only NP FAIR licensing. They discredit ROMS license holders like allofmp3.com.

Now what?? AllofMp3 blows away everybody...especially iTunes. This can't be the end of this great service, can it?

Any more news on the World Trade Organization talks that barred AllofMp3 for doing business? I just hope AllofMp3 moves to a place where they CAN do business.

Damn!

73. by wiseguy, 3 June 2007, 06:04

I figured out how to add more to my balance. it was very easy to do. So easy, that I'm kind of embarrassed. i'm almost afraid to share the info. You just really need to read the screens closely and make the necessary adjustments.

I figured out how to add more to my balance. it was very easy to do. So easy, that I'm kind of embarrassed. i'm almost afraid to share the info. You just really need to read the screens closely and make the necessary adjustments. For me, it was a security setting.
go to internet options, go to advanced tab, make sure security settings are checked to allow for ssl and tls.
i checked the tls and that was all it took.

Before you make the decision on how to make money with this credit card be sure to read the fine print. Can you get cashback for shopping at ANY supermarket or drugstore? Most of banks work with particular stores. Read all the details at
