Conclusion

GoMusic is a great resource for music. The service is not as advanced as Allofmp3, but this makes the site easier to use. GoMusic offers many album that you will not find in Allofmp3's catalogue.

We did miss a download manager like the Alltunes. Now you have to create folders and IDtags by hand. This leaves room for improvement, but they are working on a special download manager at the time.
