MP3 Daily Deal
Amazon MP3 Daily Deal
Today's special: Tony Bennett With Count Basie And His Orchestra.
Today's price: $1.99

I bet Amazon is starting to make Apple feel a little competition. I still prefer eMusic and Amazon because the file formats are MP3s. Since 99% of my collection is in that format, my tagging systems are a lot easier to manage if I keep everything the same. That being said, if eMusic was offering a r...

I have reorganized all my Emusic lists, they recently increased the maximum size for each list to 500 (used to be 100), so I consolidated my five lists into two lists, sorted them alphabetically (by first word, since that is the only way you can do it using eMusic). I left room to grow. Going forwar...

I am a big advocate of using tags. I have a whole system that uses the comments field and I just save queries in my music player to pull up whatever I want. Lately, I have been using a tool called Tag Scanner, http://www.download.com/TagScanner/3000-2141_4-10056506.html My favorite of the ones I hav...

Amazon.com MP3 has limited time deals, rather than starting a thread everytime one occurs, I figured I would start a thread that I can update when deals of interest occur. www.amazon.com/mp3 Today only (Friday, 10/3/08), the MP3 Daily Deal Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane - 99 cents (normally $5.9...

Today, August 31, 2008. In the U.S (not sure about international), Amazon.com MP3 has a daily special where they sell popular (or somewhat well known) CDs as an MP3s at a steep discount. They cover various genres, usually major label releases that are not on eMusic. Today's CD is Oscar Peterson's cl...

This one used to be hard to find as I recall, a solid recent addition.

The band has been broken up for several years. Pretty much out of print and it only really turns up used in Texas. If you really want the track, send me a private message. I will get you a copy from the band or ask permission from Alice Spencer to let you have an mp3 copy. A couple of years ago, Ali...

I got a question. My drm protected files have the album artwork embedded in them. I'm assuming I'm going to lose that when I burn the cd right? A tangent to George's question. A significant portion of my MP3 collection does not have the album art included. Is there a web site where you can bump you...
