Re: Amazon MP3 Album DOTD thread (part 3)
 

Everything in the $4 sale seems to have been marked down to $2. If you're willing to search around, there's a ton of stuff included in the sale that isn't listed on their sale page -- The Who and The Rolling Stones have most of their discography on sale at $2 a pop, for example.

Re: Amazon MP3 Album DOTD thread (part 3)
 

I purchased a few of the Stones albums a couple of days ago when they were $4 each. Looks like there is a bunch of great albums available at $2 each! This web site is going to make me go broke. Thanks for the heads up on the latest mark downs.

Re: Amazon MP3 Album DOTD thread (part 3)
 

So the site is legit and not one of those odd Russian music sites? Does it have a downloader like Lala and Amazon or just a Save As?

Re: Amazon MP3 Album DOTD thread (part 3)
 

You can find the downloader at this link.

Re: Amazon MP3 Album DOTD thread (part 3)
 

pretty much save as a zip file for albums. Luckily you can use PayPal with 7digital.

Re: Amazon MP3 Album DOTD thread (part 3)
 

I ended up biting. After listening to the Ojos de Brujo album i had to pick it up. Good stuff.

edit: Yeah i was happy to use Paypal and not have my CC linked to yet another site. I also kind of dig not having to install yet another downloader.

Re: Amazon MP3 Album DOTD thread (part 3)
 

Yep. The BBC has some coverage about HMV buying a 50% stake in 7Digital and how they're partners with a bunch of media companies. They're UK based and apparently just opened a US site pretty recently, which probably is why they're not as well-known as some of the other sites.

You get to choose between using their downloader app or just downloading a regular .ZIP file.

This site is going to make me broke! I did a little investigating since I couldn't find anything online for what artists are in the $2 sale. Most of the artists signed to certain labels seem to be included. Here are links to wikipedia artist lists of those labels that seem to be included;

Thanks-in for this.

Re: Amazon MP3 Album DOTD thread (part 3)
 

Best Of Stereophonics - Decade In The Sun is now part of 7digital's $2 Advent Calendar sale, and it's a great introduction to the band. It's nice to see the "Handbags and Gladrags" cover on there, which I don't believe was on any prior U.S. release. (It is on my U.K. release of Just Enough Education to Perform, however.) Highly recommended.

12/17 (Thursday): Want by 3Oh!3 - $1.99

Re: Amazon MP3 Album DOTD thread (part 3)
 

It seems like all of the non-advent calendar $2 deals are gone now...

Re: Amazon MP3 Album DOTD thread (part 3)
 

^Oh, that sucks. I was going to download a few albums.

Re: Amazon MP3 Album DOTD thread (part 3)
 

I had 5 albums in my cart that I checked out at $2 this morning at 7Digital. If I had known it was only one day, I would have stocked up sooner. Got some good deals though.

Re: Amazon MP3 Album DOTD thread (part 3)
 

also seems like they've now covered up past day sales on the advent calendar too... lame.

Re: Amazon MP3 Album DOTD thread (part 3)
 

I noticed last night most of the $2 albums went up in price at 7Digital. Had several more I wanted but waited too long. Still managed to get a lot of albums to fill some holes in my music collection. Hopefully this is not the last $2 sale.

Re: Amazon MP3 Album DOTD thread (part 3)
 

I'm guessing they got cleaned out pretty good yesterday.

Re: Amazon MP3 Album DOTD thread (part 3)
 

The Stereophonics album I linked above is still showing up at $2, even though it has disappeared from the Advent calendar. Hurry. ;)

Re: Amazon MP3 Album DOTD thread (part 3)
 

so, they are out of stock on their digital MP3 downloads?? ;)

Re: Amazon MP3 Album DOTD thread (part 3)
 

:lol:

I don't know how the licensing all breaks down on MP3 sales, but I can't imagine selling albums at $2 and not losing money on it.

Re: Amazon MP3 Album DOTD thread (part 3)
 

If it's based on a percentage of the selling price, then the selling price would have to reach near the cost of distributing the MP3s before the store would lose money.

Say, for example, the label takes 50% of whatever the sale price is. And let's say it costs $0.70 to process and distribute an album order. At $5, the label would get $2.50, leaving the store with $1.80 after costs. At $2, the label would get $1, leaving the store with $0.30 after costs.

Note that this is all conjecture. Labels may have set fees instead of percentages, and I have no idea how much it costs to distribute music. I'm just noting that it's possible.

Re: Amazon MP3 Album DOTD thread (part 3)
 

Hmmmm....I just went to 7digital and logged into my account. I put a ton of those $2 albums in my cart and they still show up as $2 each. In fact, I just checked out and was charged $2 each :)
