(Hope this is not a silly question but...) If I buy CDs from Amazon, for instance, and get them to deliver to Turkey, will I have to pay any tax on the import? We're talking under 5 CDs. Ta!

You may well pay 18% as amazon wont declare it as a gift worth $5 which I would normally ask the shipper to do.
Its down to luck on wether the customs man has had a good day with his wife or not.

So I can send it via a mate in UK who can then declare it under USD5.

i don't know if there is scientific explanation for this and starman might know better, but experience has proven that packages sent to a business address by other means than postal service (for exampple: ups, fedex, dhl, etc) rareley get caught up in customs. so far i had not a single package get caught by customs.

Charly - try using Emule for downloads. I had a quick check and got over 300 mp3's for Ismael Lo and 100 for Ismael Lo, some of them full albums. You can get a copy at: www.emule-project.net/You get any probs setting it up, gimme a shout. JohnF |

I have been using kazalite and limewire but both are crap compared how to the p2p's used to be. I also notice there is a lot of dodgy mp3's out there. you get to half way through the song then you get the white noise. I hear its a company in new york hired by the record labels to put those files out there. How thoughtful of them.  I will give yours a try John as downloading albums is a better choice considering how many tracks I need to put on my ipod. |

Yeah you do get dodgy downloads sometimes although the advantage of emule is that there are comments attached to the files. If you try it you'll see what I mean. If the file is a fake, someone usually puts a note on saying that it is (doesn't happen ALL the time). I will say that wrongly labelled tracks are more a prob on Emule than "white noise". I allow for about 25% of files not being what they say they are, although sometimes you find a music file labelled as one album, you d/l it, find it's another completely different album by another artist, have a listen and find it's a good album! Another good one to try is WinMx, very different from Emule but still good for music. It's at www.winmx.comJohnF |
