I just found this site, www.allofmp3.com. Its a Russian based mp3 store, kinda like Itunes, except they charge 1 cent per MB downloaded. A review is here. It seems to be a legit site, as far as dealing w/ CC transactions go. The legality of the downloaded MP3's though, seem to be kinda gray. In Russia apparently, companies pay a flat fee to record companies, and artists are the only ones that recieve compensation per song sold. I guess since record companies get a majority of $$$ from a sale of a song, by not having to pay this in Russia, allofmp3 can offer the songs for cheap. I think people are saying its anywhere from $.70-$1.50 for an album depending on size. Their selection seems to be quite good too, and the coolest thing is their online encoding, which lets you choose the bitrate & format you want your songs encoded in. I'm gona give this a try soon, and i'll post results.

Theres also another site http://club.mp3search.ru that is basically the same thing, but w/o the online encoding. They both charge 1 cent/MB, but each site has some albums that the other doesn't have.
