What is VBR? Will my player correctly decode VBR file?
VBR (Variable Bit Rate encoding) adjusts the bit rate depending on the sound. For example, if there is silence in a song, the bit rate would decrease and if there is a full symphonic sound the bit rate would increase. VBR offers a higher sound quality at a smaller file size.

ATTENTION! Some mp3 decoders and players crash or incorrectly decode VBR mp3 files. For more information please read THIS!

Do your files work with Apple Mac iTunes and iPod?
Yes! But before downloading mp3-files to your iPod you might need to rename them on your computer so their names do not contain any unnecessary symbols.

By the way, you might be interested to know that all mp3-files on our site contain detailed mp3-tags so you can always find out full information about the song you downloaded on your computer/mp3-player/car stereo; the names of our files always match original titles of songs. This is what makes GoldenMp3.Ru different from other mp3 archives with their often useless mp3-tag information.

How do I download music from your site to my Apple Mac?
If you're on a Mac please push and hold "option" button and click your mouse on red mp3 link.
On GoldenMP3.ru I only get mp3 music. Is it possible to make it audio-format?
GoldenMp3.ru is an mp3-archive; all of our files are in mp3-format. But you can make them audio-files. To do that you will need a special program. You can find many similar programs in Internet.
How do I burn the purchased files on CDs?
To burn our files on CDs we recommend using Nero Burning Rom, Nero Express or Windows Media Player. You can also use any other CD burning software.
Before I buy a song can I pre-listen what I am about to download to be sure it is exactly what I want?
Yes, before buying a song you can listen to its short version for FREE in a low sound quality (bit rate). It should be enough to understand if you are interested in buying it or not.

To use this service please register and click on a small speaker thumbnail free mp3 preview next to the song you would like to pre-listen.

I paid for the song, how can I download it? For how long will it be available for me on your site?
To download a song please tick it off and push "Buy selected songs" button. You will see a red "mp3" link next to the song (it is a link to your mp3-file). Now you can download the song to your computer using your Internet browser (right-click your mouse and choose «Save target as» option) or any download manager.

ATTENTION! After the purchase links to the songs become available on respective album pages and get stored in Purchased Files folder on your User Account. They will be sitting there until you decide to download them. They will NOT disappear in a week, a month or a year. But 24 hours AFTER THE BEGINNING OF DOWNLOAD the links will be deleted from your account so you have more space for adding new links.

I have searched everywhere, but I haven't found what I wanted. Am I allowed to suggest an album/artist/band to be added to your site?
Absolutely! Every registered user can add his/her music suggestions using Wish List.

Please tell us what artist/band/album you would like to be added to our mp3-collection and we will try to upload them ASAP. Each customer will be informed as soon as his/her wish is fulfilled.

Is it possible to download several songs or a whole album at once?
Sure! First of all please select the files you want to buy, then use “Buy whole album” or “Buy selected tracks” button. To download several files (or a full album) at once we recommend using download managers. After download manager is installed right-click your mouse on the first link to mp3-files you bought, choose “Download ALL Using (download manager title)” option and then set the filter to download mp3-files only. Enjoy!
