EDIT: Here we are on 01/05/09 and it looks many (most?) of the "fifty for $5" MP3 albums at Amazon are still $5 each--though not all--as one poster below points out, the Al Green isn't and I saw that the Ratatat album isn't, so, if what you want is still $5, it probably is not wise to wait
I've changed things to make life easier -- each album has a direct link, just click it to get to the album's page, where you'll be able to read each album's reviews, listen to track-samples and/or click a purchase-button.
Ive not specifically d-loaded any of these albums from Amazon, but I have purchased 2 others that worked flawlessly on my Ipod classic. You shouldn't have any issue what so ever with them.
If you didn't pick up Radiohead's In Rainbows when they were giving it away for free, the $5 is completely worth it. This album's really grown on me and every track on it's solid.
Just to give this a bump, since it still seems to be alive, contrary to what the Amazon MP3 Twitter page said, which was that it'd be good only through CyberMonday--here it is early Wed. morning and it's still active.
hm... embarrassed to say that the first thing I thought of when I saw this was Ricky Martin, not Coldplay. I guess I'm stuck in 1999.

That would be "La Vida Loca", not Coldplay's "Viva La Vida"
(BTW, I bought the "Viva La Vida" download a week ago or so--it's a good album, even if it is the top 2008 best-seller It's got some neat stuff going on--perhaps, in part, because Brian Eno produced it).

JosiOK said: Looking through the list, today and many but not all songs are $5. Al Green is now $9.49. Better hurry if you see one you like!
Thanks for pointing this out--it looks like at least a few have gone up in price, including the aforementioned Al Green album as well as the Ratatat album. But others that I spot-checked are still $5, so if you want them, I'd suggest getting them now (frankly, I'm amazed they're still so cheap, given that the deal was supposed to end (at least this is what Amazon said on their Twitter) on Cyber Monday (i.e. the Monday after Thanksgiving).
