Amazon selling MP3 chart albums for three quid
December 9th, 2008 | Published in Music, Shopping, Web/Tech
Ok so I’m a bit behind with this because it happened last week, but Amazon have started selling music downloads – at a discount to iTunes. At the moment, as what I can only presume is a loss-leader to get people to try the service, they’re offering some brand new albums for only £3 – including ones by Kings of Leon, Take That, Girls Aloud, and Snow Patrol (although Miley is £6.49 annoyingly as I’m a bit tempted.)
I might try it to give it a go – I’m tempted because there’s no DRM restrictions on the music, so I can use it how I want, it will play nicely with my iPhone and iPod, and Amazon’s software (a small plug-in type thing) apparently makes it a cinch to copy into iTunes. Normal (i.e. not discounted) albums seem to cost £6.49 compared to iTunes £7.99.
