Dunno what I am doing wrong, I never normally have all this hassle !
Pay site I use is http://www.allofmp3.com/
Have had no problems with it and when you are a member you have the ability to listen to the whole album before you decide to buy and if you are wary about using a credit card you can pay through Paypal.
