Amazon MP3 Friday 5

June 6, 2008 By Stephen Leave a Comment

I know this will sound like an ad, but please don’t take it that way.  I love Amazon’s selection of MP3 downloads – they’re DRM-free and uniformly cheaper than iTunes.  And the company has a download app that integrates nicely with iTunes (unlike the eternally-borken Emusic manager).

I was surprised this morning with an email from Amazon touting “five albums for $5” on the MP3 store.  Turns out, it’s five albums (today only) for $5 each.  And it’s a great set, too – I already own and love two of them, bought a third, and suspect most folks already have the fourth:

  1. R.E.M.’s new album, Accelerate is just great – short, snappy, easy to get into
  2. Radiohead’s In Rainbows is an album I’ve written about before…
  3. I’d been enjoying songs from She & Him lately, including their appearance in Paste magazine, so decided to pick up Volume One for five bucks.
  4. Does anyone not know Hotel California?
  5. Finally there’s Dreaming Out Loud from OneRepublic, which I’m not familiar with.

Also, if you like the Black Keys, you can get their new Attack & Release for $2.99…

Like I said, I’m not trying to advertize this.  I’m just happy to see some great music offered legally and without DRM for low bucks.

Note: Some of these links include affiliate codes that help pay for this blog. For example, buying an Amazon Kindle with this link sends a few bucks my way! But I don't write this blog to make money, and am happy to link to sites and stores that don't pay anything. I like Amazon and buy tons from them, but you're free to buy whatever and wherever you want.
