I don’t normally post these kind of things but I received an email this morning that I thought I’d share with you. You’ll thank me later.

As you may know, Amazon started selling MP3 digital downloads on their site a couple of years ago in competition with Apple’s iTunes. While Amazon’s selection isn’t as diverse and the purchase process not as streamlined, they do often have some really good deals. The nice thing about Amazon MP3 downloads is that they download automatically using the free Amazon MP3 Downloader and they automatically sync with your iTunes library.

50 Albums for $5 Each from Amazon

Amazon music editors selected 50 digital download albums that they are selling for a limited time for just $5 each. The selection of $5 albums include music by Kristian Stanfill (great album), Neko Case, Death Cab for Cutie, Kanye West, Anberlin, The Presets, Remedy Drive and The Bird And The Bee (I highly recommend picking that one up if you don’t already have it).

Extra FREE Coldplay Goodie…

Do you like the uniqueness and energy of a live album? Do you like Coldplay? If you answered yes to either question you’ll want to download a FREE live Coldplay album entitled “Left Right Left Right Left.” It includes classics like Fix You, Clocks and Viva La Vida as well as lesser known songs like Glass of Water and Death Will Never Conquer. Definitely worth downloading for free!

Any tips?

I’m always on the lookout for great new music or good deals. What have you added to your MP3 player lately that I should know about?
