Welcome to MP3 Panda Review


Here, you can find out everything and anything there is to know about MP3 Panda; including offers, updates, freebies, problems, news, and anything else they might change, good or bad. If there is anything missing from here or you have a question to ask, please feel free to contact us or find us on twitter.


Firstly, what is MP3 Panda?

No, it's not a video of a panda bear dancing to an mp3 player, MP3 Panda is a music download site where you can get over 2,139,790 mp3 songs safely and cheaply online. MP3 Panda is a fairly new site, designed to replace an older mp3 site, MP3Fiesta. The site offers both new and old music and evrythingh is DRM Free, so will work with any mp3 playing device or thingy-ma-bob you have.


What's the cost of music?

MP3 Panda is probably the cheapest site on the web at the moment. Songs cost just 5¢ each. No, that's not a mis-type, they really are just 5¢ each. Every track on the site is the same price too, so you don't pay any extra for longer or more popular tracks, you pay 5¢ for every and any mp3 they offer. Albums on the site, however, are oddly priced, with most costing just 50¢, regardless of the number of tracks or length of the album, making it very affordable and more importantly, a lot cheaper than the big sites like iTunes and Amazon!


How is this different from iTunes?

MP3 Panda works differently to iTunes for the following reasons:

  • You just download the music you want, no software or program needed, just music. This saves loads of space on your pc for more music, as well as time that could be spent listening to your favourite albums.
  • You can save the tracks you download anywhere on your pc, not where iTunes or anyother site dictates, meaning you can use them more freely. They can then go onto a disc, onto your phone, or wherever you like. You're not restricted by the iTunes software. You can move them to where you want, delete the songs you don't like and make copies of the ones you do.
  • With MP3 Panda, you add money to your account and buy songs using your balance, rather than paying per track. This means you do not need to pay a little bit here and there when you want music. When the balance runs out or gets low, you can just top up when you want to in order to download more music! Topping up also makes way for offers and bonuses, something iTunes don't offer.
  • Because MP3 Panda is a website, you can download music anywhere that has internet, you do not need to be on your own laptop with your own iTunes library. So you can download at a mates house, work or on the move. You can save your downloads to your online account and download them onto any PC you want. With MP3 Panda, however, mp3s only stay yon your online account for 48 hours, so you need to download them from the site within that time frame. After the 48 hours, you will need to re-purchase any tracks that you didn't download.

So, what's the catch?

The only catch is the amount of money you need to put on your account to start downloading music. The minimum top up is $20.00 ($29.95 if you're in the UK) and this minimum applies each and everytime you want to add more funds to your balance. (Your cash never expires, it stays on your account until you use it).

This is a bit annoying if you just want one song, as you're sort of paying $20.00 for it, but if you're a keen music downloader, MP3 Panda is the place to go. This balance, which is enough for 599 songs on the site, should last even the most hard-core music downloader more than a week or two! You can pay on the site using Visa or MasterCard and it is very safe and secure.


Freebies, Bonuses & Offers

MP3 Panda know that freebies are always nice, as such they have some good offers for you when you top up your account with them. The minimum top up of $20.00 may apply, but if you've got a bit of cash to burn, it's worth investing in MP3 Panda. The offer you get depends, of course, on how much you top up your account with, but you can get up to $25.00 free as well as some free movies from these guys.SO what can you get your mitts on?

Topping up with $49.94 will get you an extra $10.00 added to your balance, as well as 10 Free Movies from their movie partner site, Movie Berry. Topping up with $79.95 will get you an extra $25.00 added to your balance, as well as 15 Free Movies from Movie Berry. (Find out more about the movie site here: MovieBerry Review)
