They still do on just about everything, but if you are not logged in or don't have enough credits to buy an album it will display as a price rather than # of credits.
That kind of freaked me out the first time I saw that because suddenly all the albums that were 10-12 credits were now showing up at $9.99 instead. I figured it out when I noticed that about 98% of the albums and EPs that had fewer tracks than I had credits left were showing up as buyable with credits, but everything was showing up for a price.
I've been using the site as an adjunct to eMu to buy the low track count albums that are 12 credits, but which are price 1 to 1 at Limewirestore
I just had an interesting experience with the Limewire Store.
Last week I was trying to use up my credits and had multiple problems with browser freeze, so I gave up and intended to try back later. I forgot about it for a few days and when I went back, my monthly credits expired (I had 63 credits remaining) and a new batch of 75 showed up.
I emailed them, telling them about the problem yesterday. I just now logged into my account and found that my balance is now 75 credits + $63.00 - this means they credited me the lost credits as money in my account.
Not that I'm complaining.... most of their single albums max out at $9.99 but aren't capped for credits, so those 20 credit albums will now effectively cost me ten credits.
I'll have to say that I'm surprised and delighted that their customer service was so quick to respond.
It turns out that the Firefox problem was due to a Flash related update - it was solved by turning off the plugin containers in about:config

Do they still have "credits" at all? Last time I looked, everything seemed to have prices in dollars, not credits.

EDIT: froggy beat me to the punch.
Ah...the "if you don't have enough credits" part makes it a bit tricky.
So, the Swell Season (one member Irish, the other Czech) are now "Americana" artists? Just checkin'.
