Affordable, Legal Music Downloads for the New Year

by admin on January 7, 2009

So many of us want to support our favourite bands – but so many of us also can’t justify the prices. It’s hard to buy a track for 79 p from iTunes when you know there’s sites that can give them to you for free.

But, as a New Years resolution, I’ve decided that I don’t want to steal anymore….. or as much. :) So I went on a hunt for the cheapest music to purchase in the UK.

Starting with iTunes, albums are currently on sale for under £5, with weekly albums featuring at only £3.95. The Ting Tings – We Started Nothing is this week’s feature album. Pretty good deal. Regular albums are still going for £7 and tracks for 79p.

The Nokia Music Store shows no signs of New Year deals, with albums at their regular price of £8 and tracks for 80p. However, anyone who’s invested in a Comes with Music plan  must be laughing right now with thier unlimited music collection.. I am well and truly jealous – LEGAL AND FREE music!? I haven’t heard of anyone’s thoughts on this as of yet, so if you are a member, please acknowledge my curiousity with a comment.

An impressive and unique bargain can also currently be found on Tesco Digital, with their launch of HitPac5 – Each Hit Pac product contains 5 songs from an artist of your choice - perfect for picking up an instant package of tracks, or you can pick individual tracks from each collection for only 60p per track. I like the idea of this, as my music collection was lost about a year ago and the idea of buying a whole album is never one I choose willingly. Who really likes more than 5-6 tracks on an album anyway?

Katy Perry, Take That, The Killers, Britney Spears, Sigur Ros - These are just a few of the £3 digital albums that can be purchased at the Amazon mp3 Store.. so that only leaves me with one decision today – A sandwich for lunch… or a cd?

So there you have it, the best bargains online for UK legal-music downloads. Hope it was helpful!
