kbedwardz said:Not to mention all of Amazon's downloadable music has a 256 bit rate, as opposed to the over compressed itunes junk.

Ooh, a bit rate rant! Me next, me next!

Alas, I wish my aural palette was as refined. I'm a 25-year professional musician, and can still pick out every harmonic, tension, and subtlety of a 192 bit rate track, so I think it's doing the job.

Not flaming you, dude, I'm almost envious of ppl who notice a real difference.

I guess it's like Moore's law, and it's just a matter of time that CD-quality will be considered crap by true audiophiles as they line up for tracks remastered at 1024 bit rate.

Anyway, thanks OP. Great deal on great music.

I wonder why do I have install a dopy Amaz0n mp3 downloader? Any way to download those directly?

Thanks OP! In for 1 (if that makes sense with mp3 downloads )

You can, but just individual tracks at a time, therefore not getting the special price.

From Amazon help:
If you choose not to use the Amazon MP3 Downloader, you can buy and download individual songs only and must completely download each song you buy before buying another song.

To cancel Downloader installation when prompted, choose "Skip installation and continue." Please also choose "Save" when prompted to download the .mp3 file by your Web browser and wait for the .mp3 file to download completely before buying another song. Choosing "Open" will start your default media player but will not save the file to your computer.

* When the Downloader is required: The Downloader is required for buying entire albums or queuing up multiple song purchases for download. If you buy an album and the Downloader is not installed on your system, you will be prompted to install the Downloader or cancel the purchase.

Got it thanks OP!
