For the FREE stuff, that’s a no-brainer, just grab it. Individual songs typically sell for $.99 each, so for these music sale posts, I typically like to name a few songs to justify the price of the album. For all albums I’ve listed here that are not free, I can say with confidence that they are all worth getting at these discounted prices. If you want me to name 5 songs from any of the selections I’ve listed, just leave me a comment here below and I’ll name the ones I think justify the cost of the album.

Note – aside from the $5 album deals, which are valid through the end of April, there’s no end dates listed for these sale prices, so I suggest if something interests you, grab it right now before the prices go back up. At the time of this posting, these were the listed prices.

Amazon Cloud is a drive and player, where you can store, stream, and download MP3s for FREE — everyone gets 5 GB of storage space for free, then there are yearly plans with more space if you want Amazon to store your music library for you. From now til the end of the year, if you purchase an MP3 album, you get a free upgrade to the 20 GB tier. Read more about Amazon Cloud, which I can say from experience is a vast improvement over their previous player and I love that it stores your purchases and lets you listen to the songs you buy right through their player.
