Get This Deal Before Somebody Notices
It’s Cyber Monday! Deals deals deals! (Conspicuous consumption, OK, not great, but it’s better than “Black Friday All Week!” which is impossible because it can’t even be FRIDAY all week.) This deal has been out there for awhile but we thought today was a good day to tell you about it.
Here’s the deal. It’s a little sneaky.
Amazon has this thing called “AutoRip”. You buy a CD, and can then immediately download an MP3 version of the album. Cool stuff. Very handy. Saves you from ripping the thing yourself.
But I don’t want CDs, you say. I’m a purely digital guy/gal/haven’t yet made up my mind.
Ah, sayeth I. Ye of little faith. Would we steer you wrong?
What would you say if I told you you could have the CD AND the MP3 version of the album for less than the price of the MP3 version alone?
Jimi would say, “That’s cool.”
Yes, ladies, gentlemen, and those who have yet to make up their minds. (That’s a line from Kinky Boots, a great Broadway show. Go see it. Buy the soundtrack. Just be.) Amazon is indeed selling many of your favorite CDs for less than the price of their digital versions, while giving you a digital copy for free.
Free!
Here is the current pricing of Experience Hendrix: The Best Of Jimi Hendrix
Such a deal!
See that?
Poke around Amazon’s music store and see what you find. I recently bought a bunch of James Taylor CDs, and I think all but one of them included a free MP3 download for less than the cost of buying the MP3 download alone.
If you don’t want the CD, you can, give it to someone else or use it as a coaster. You’re saving money even if you never crack open the plastic. I look at it this way — I get the high quality audio of a CD and the immediacy and convenience of MP3 for less than the cost of the MP3 alone. Did I mention that? I think I did.
Enjoy. Here’s a link to that Hendrix album to get you started.
