MP3Search.ru is now GoMusic.ru.

For those of you that benefitted from my post below, "Web Site Review: 10-Cent Music Downloads?," I am sure you have been enjoying your 10-cent music downloads. But wait, what is this? What happened to MP3Search.ru? Where did it go? Why am I being redirected to GoMusic.ru?
Calm down! It's ok! MP3Search.ru has undergone a few changes. First, and most obvious, is the new name and site. While there has been no explanation as to the switch, it was long overdue. After visiting the site, you may notice a little lag and some error messages. Be patient. If you notice under the new name, it says "Beta." This is the tech way of saying, "Please be patient with us. We are still working out the kinks." Once ironed-out, I believe the new site will offer a much better user experience, with a more intuitive interface and simplified search tool.
One not-so-good change I have noticed over the past couple of weeks is the occasional price increase. That's right, some downloads are no longer 10 cents. For example, The Red Hot Chili Pepper's new album has songs listed at 19 cents each. Still not a bad price, but there was no notice or explanation for the random price increases.
In short, if you were in a bit of a panic that your MP3Search.ru was no more, rest assured. You can log into www.gomusic.ru with your MP3Search.ru username and password, and your account balance and download history will still be there.
It is ok to breathe now.

Perhaps too much to ask for, but a warning like "hey, we're gonna change the site soon and raise prices, so get your music now before it all kicks in" would have been nice. Too much customer service to ask for from a legal site? No, but from an illegal site, perhaps...

What happened to the free tracks that you get when your money runs out? If they have done what I think they have done and really taken those away I will come after them with a large axe.

Thanks for the confirmation on the site face lift....and what happened to the selection? Artists that were represented on mp3search.ru to the tune of 20+ albums are not even on the artist list on this beta version. Anyone know if the data base is still being added?
