Amazon | Tweet and Get $3 off One of 24 Select Albums

It looks like this might just be applying $3 to your MP3 credit, but this is NOT true. Don't try it!

Some good albums, took ten seconds to do. Repped!

Thanks for posting! To check if the credit applied - or to check your current mp3 credit balance - you can click here [amazon.com], then click on the "Enter Your Code" button.

You can get another $1 in mp3 credit if you have an Android phone; check out this thread.

Hope this helps,

Quote from Mirwinator : It looks like this might just be applying $3 to your MP3 credit, which theoretically you could use to buy anything in the MP3 store.

Warning: This is NOT true. I tested it by purchasing a $1.19 mp3, and my credit card was charged for it. The $3 mp3 credit still remains in my account, untouched.

You know, now that music is reasonably priced, I end up buying a LOT more of it than I ever did. I'm glad the music industry finally got around to offering reasonably-priced albums in digital format.....and then Amazon got around to slashing the prices on them. As a poor college student I wasn't interested in paying for what I could get for free....but as an adult, I'm happy to pay $3-5 for a decent album in digital format rather than pirating it somewhere. At $15-18 for a lot of CD's 15 years ago, they were getting $0 from me for music purchases. Now I buy a few albums a month.....thumbs up for that. I know this is all nothing "new"......just wanted to comment on it.

I agree wholeheartedly. I remember CDs used to retail for $17.98 each at stores like The Wherehouse and Tower Records. I had to work four hours at a high school student pay to buy each album, and I had to be very picky about what to buy due to their high prices. Now the prices are reasonable and I am able to support artists and bands that I like.

I currently have over 3,000 mp3 files legitimately obtained through iTunes and Amazon.

Quick and painless. Picked the CSN and Y for 2.99.

Thanks OP. Repped

I agree with what you're saying. However, there are caveats to digital music. Quality is worse than CDs (you can rip CDs with xact copy and have better sound, http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/).

The term "buy" and "own" in the context of digital downloads is not really correct. You have to explicitly (rather than implicitly with CDs) agree with draconian licensing terms which effectively say that the licensing body can revoke your purchases for any reason at any time. You're really "renting" the music.

Finally, you can't sell used mp3s after you tire of them, as you can with CDs. I have found that I buy a lot of music used for about $5 an album. For that, I get perfect audio quality and physical proof of ownership.

Having said that, buying and ripping albums is very inconvenient. Hence, I have also purchased many songs on amazon cloud and enjoy the ease and convenience of it all

doh! just bought Bruno Mars yesterday!

don't see anything I want (at least that I don't already have) but thanks for posting

I can't tell the difference between my CDs and my rips at 320kps. Maybe it's just me.

Three bucks for the Neil Young Best Of compiliation is good if you don't already have these songs. If you weren't around when this stuff first came out and you think Mumford and Sons is tight, check this out. You will need a loud stereo though.

Thanks for the post OP.
