-Credit goes to procop in post #21 for pointing this out.


DEAD, starts at $4 and up now.

Muse album review: The first 3 songs are amazing...the rest of the album is not my cup of tea. Madness just blows my mind.

Awesome! Thanks.

I wish Pepsi mp3 credit still worked.

Folks that bought The Heist at $4 must be pissed...

all of these albums.. blah..

I bought John Denver for $7.99, but I cannot get pissed even if I want to. It was worth it. ;)

Thank you!
In for Earth, Wind & Fire
Rep'd

Awesome! Thanks.

Very nice, in for two -- although slightly annoying that I overpayed for The Heist just a few days back... :P
Either way, thanks a lot OP, thumbs up and reps coming your way.

Muse & Bruno Mars for $2ea. Awesome.

If we are just throwing purely subjective opinions around for the hell of it then I must disagree. If you started listening to Muse at Black Holes and Revelations and your favorite track on the album was Supermassive Black Hole then you probably love Madness and not much else of the album. However, if you like all of Muse's stuff since the beginning then you might appreciate the fact that their stuff is progressive over the years and they are in to trying new stuff. There is still a message behind the music that gives it a deeper meaning than most of the crap being produced today.

oooooooooooooo the 70's compilation got it!

That would be me, bought The Heist 5 or 6 days ago. So it goes.

I don't listen to hiphop. But can someone tell me what makes The Heist so special?

I have every muse album but one, and liked pretty much ALL their stuff......until this album.

This was a clear departure from the "muse sound" and many many many muse fans don't like the new album.

I understand them not wanting to make the same album over and over, but when you significantly change the sound there is going to be a lot of people that just don't care for it.

Have you checked it out? Most people (read: white, middle class) feel like they can relate to Macklemore and the content of his music. Also, in my opinion, Ryan Lewis is an awesome producer. I think it's pretty cool that an independent release has gained so much traction as well.

Anyway, I grabbed The Heist with some MP3 credit I had leftover. Thanks for the heads up OP!

I bought Macklemore or however you spell it. I never knew what I was listening to when I was in the club, this was it.

Actually a pretty good album, definitely worth 1.99.

If you buy any app in Amazon Android appstore you can get $1 MP3 credit in you account towards Amazon MP3 purchase.
Many apps are totally free - see this thread:

Thanks OP got the Billboard top 70 hits, John Denver and Earth Wind and Fire

dat macklemore

I was one of those who picked up The Heist a few days ago... I'm mad.. that I didn't pick it up for full price. Gotta support those local artists :)

Picked up Passion Pit - Gossamer & Fiona Apple - The Idler Wheel Is Wiser......

Thanks!

In for ole' blue eyes...

I can't picture anyone who would buy a John Denver album being the type to get easily pissed

:)

I bought that disc years ago and like it, a good quality performance.

Just bought Celebration day CD along with the Blu-Ray yesterday. Wished I had just gotten the Blu-ray edition.

Not a big fan of compilations and I already have some of the full albums that these hits are from. But at less than 7 cents per song, this is quite a steal for those who don't need full albums.

Thank you

The Lone Bellow is a fantastic album IMHO; y'all check it out.

Other than that, I'll probably get the 70s hits

The Lone Bellow is amazing. Breakout artist of the year anyone?

Definitely for fans of The Civil Wars, as they recently toured with them.

For two bucks, I think giving "The Lone Bellow" a try can't hurt.

If we bought an album on sale during the $5 album days, can we get a credit back if we speak with cs?

anyone know if google play will match?

I prefer that because of higher quality and I always download from amazon then just upload to google music....

Also is the new led zepplin decent?

Probably not, albums that amazon has had on sale all month are still not price matched.

Picked up Sinatra, John Denver, Passion Pit, and The 70's...

Highly recommend Passion Pit...although I already have it so I picked up Tegan and Sara.

Good deal but gah I just bought thrift shop fro macklemore and simply amazing by trey songs, both from amazon. Would be half way there on both albums. Oh well still might pick up a few.

True statement.

Love the Earth, Wind & Fire! Thanks!

Very slick. In for several.

I love how everyone is jumping on the Macklemore train now, its awesome how much he has exploded recently. I use to go to his shows when he visited my WSU college campus in Eastern WA when he was still a nobody. Great stuff.

Bruno Mars album is great!

In for two. Thank you, OP.

gah, just bought like 5 albums... but hey at only $10 total why not.

Me too :(
Now twitter serves no purpose.

Wow, that "Lone Bellows" album is quite a hidden gem! Well worth $2.

Thank you, got Earth Wind and Fire!

(and no, not after eating hot food from a Mexican restaurant)

Bought that now and almost done listening to it. It's amazing. Bruno reminds me so much of a younger Michael Jackson.

Always up for new artists...going to download the Lone Bellows tonight when I get home. Thanks.

My kind of guy.....

Second that! Better than his first. Gorilla is a trip.

I guess we know what the Billboard charts will look like next week. Earth Wind And Fire forgot what those were. :bounce:

I call that / Getting hussled and pimped


... or just supporting good music. Go get this album, at $4 or $2. Good stuff. It's worth it for "Same Love" even if you're burned out on Thrift Shop because your 4-year-old has played the clean version 87 times in the last few days, and has hilariously incorporated "This is *looking* awesome" into his vocabulary.

In for The Heist. I'll be honest- I don't know anything about them and thought they would be a one-hit wonder. But the reviews are stellar.

Nice. Some decent $2.99 and $3.99 deals in the sidebar. $2.99 thriller ain't half bad.

Just because you paid more doesn't mean the artist gets more money. The discount price is subsidized by Amazon. The artist get paid the same even if you paid full price for the album.

In for one, thanks OP!

Did the Pepsi codes expire? I had a bunch that I wanted to use.

Passion Pit says hi.

Picked up Muse, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, and The Lone Below. Thanks, OP!

Awesome. Picked up Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Bruno Mars, and Passion Pit for $6. Don't forget about the free $1 MP3 credit for "buying" free apps!
http://slickdeals.net/f/5856304-F...12-31-2013

They expired on January 31 :(

One of the best rap cd's I've heard in quite a while.

I already had it but picked up the Lone Bellow and Muse....great deal.

Picked up Tegan and Sara, Bruno Mars, and Lone Below. Any other recommendations? Thanks.

in for 6:
Bruno Mars
Muse
Macklemore
Earth Wind & Fire
Train
Billboard 70's

thanks!

Grabbed Macklemore, Bruno Mars, The Lone Bellow and Sinatra so far. Still deciding if I like Passion Pit's album enough to buy that as well (been sampling on Spotify).

Macklemore's album is good! Anyone else notice you get the video for Thrift Shop free with this? :D

Passion Pit & Muse are awesome! Thanks, I was looking for some new music!

Just dropped 10 bucks... totally worth it... Must say I was surprised by the Lone Bellow... kept listening to the samples and pulled the trigger on it... TY!!!

Great deal. Got Bruno Mars and Train.

I dont even like hip hop, but The Heist is pretty damn good. I mean, I only skip one or two songs, the rest is pure genius. Macklemore is so damn talented, and without all the negativity and false bravado that usually comes with that territory and Ryan Lewis is one awesome producer, it really shows through. Such a unique and genuine sound

These sales always tempt me. And then I remember that I pay for Spotify monthly. I might not own the music, but it's worth it to me. If every album were $2 then I'd only have to listen to 5 new albums a month to equal this deal. I guess these Amazon MP3 deals are more for people who don't listen to that much music or aren't comfortable renting their music collection.

Bruno Mars is worth every penny!

Or who prefer/have to use a standalone MP3 player, car radio, or other forms of listening to music rather than stream it.

I have Spotify but no way to hook my phone up to my car stereo, so I buy MP3s for the car. I listen to my purchased MP3s every day in the car, and Spotify all day at my work computer :nod:

Ever try offline mode? You can make playlists available offline. I have a couple thousand songs downloaded between my Nexus 4 and iPod on Spotify. I used to download songs on Spotify at home to listen to at work. Now we're at a new building where the firewall doesn't block Spotify, so I've just been using my PC. I can't really tell from your post if you pay for Spotify premium, but if you do, you should be aware of the offline feature.

Now that won't help you for your car unless you invest in a Bluetooth receiver, auxiliary cable, FM converter, etc. None of which are very expensive. I guess you must be burning MP3 CDs?

I have over 17,000 songs uploaded to google music and I purchased 3 albums from amazon today. My wife's car has a USB port and Bluetooth... my car does not so I need to be able to burn some .mp3's to a CD... and in her car I stream the music from bluetooth/USB...

For $2 an album you really can't go wrong..

I'm curious as to how many of those 17,000 songs you paid for. :) Not to assume, and I don't have anything against the free sharing of music. Google Music somehow found and auto-synced around 5000 of my MP3s, which we'll just say came from friends. Nowadays I mostly use Spotify. I actually have 30 or so Amazon MP3 albums, but most of those were free or paid for with credits.

$2 an album is an awesome deal, but makes no sense for me. With the amount of music I listen to on Spotify, it breaks down to much, much less than $2 an album. For example: your 17,000 songs is around 1200 albums, give or take a couple hundred. 1200 albums at $2 a pop is $2400, or 20 years of Spotify at the current monthly rate. Which will only increase, but I'm just putting it into perspective.

Let me also say that I do know that Spotify basically has me by the nuts, and can raise their prices at any time. I really don't know what I would do then, because I don't think anything over $10 a month would be a fair price. I guess I would then come crying back here that I didn't buy more music from Amazon.

Don't make the same mistake with The Heist that I did. Amazon in their infinite wisdom has both the regular and the deluxe version for $1.99. The regular version has 15 songs, the deluxe has 18. In the amazon mp3 app on my phone it is not clear that there is a difference. I am a bit annoyed frankly.

Customer Service should definitely take care of you if you contact them.

Dead deal? Check prices on a couple of these and they show $3.99

Thanks OP, had free $5 MP3 credit expiring next week, so picked up Muze and Train for free.

Gold Box Deal of the Day, so yeah, this expired at midnight..

I had never heard of Mackelmore's "The Heist" before this thread. Now I can't stop listening to it. Thanks! I kind of feel bad i got the whole thing for 99 cents after using the $1 credit i had.

One of the albums I got is Frank Sinatra but for some reason I can not download and import into itunes. I get this message: Attempting to copy to the disk "C:\" failed. The file name was invalid or too long. The other 3 I got were no problem.

Probably the file names. On each track, the name's prefix is [The Frank Sinatra Collection] [1966 Live At The Sands Album Version].

So one track's full name would I think be..

One For My Baby [And One More For The Road] [The Frank Sinatra Collection] [1966 Live At The Sands Album Version].mp3 :lol:

Could be issues with that. What operating system are you using? I downloaded mine just fine on Win7 64.

XP. I figured the file names were the issue but not sure how to fix it other than to download another way and rename.
