Next on the list is - it doesn't just offer great DVD deals, but good MP3 ones too! The site has a nice range of both current hits and some older stuff as well, and tracks are generally priced around 65p-70p. Of course, the one thing to note with Amazon is that there is a range of different prices when downloading from the site - while there is a whole heap of music available much cheaper than iTunes, there are also songs that cost a fair whack more.įor example, if you fancy I'd Do Anything For Love by Meat Loaf, or Go West by the Pet Shop Boys (and who wouldn't?) then you will have to pay £1.89 each, which is pretty steep.

Bargain!Īnd fear not if you are the sort of person that ranks Radio 1 as a member of the Axis of Evil - there is a huge classical collection on Amazon at that price, as well as classics by Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones. And not just any old rubbish either - three of last week's top five in the singles chart are available at that price. The vast bulk of their music is MUCH cheaper than iTunes, with some tracks as little as 29p. Sadly Woolies has now bitten the dust, but there are loads of other places you can get music cheaper than iTunes! Sailing over to Amazon While iTunes would charge 79p for a track, most of the stuff from Woolworths was half that price, at 39p, which is a decent saving.

I knew there were cheaper outfits when I signed up, having previously bought plenty of music for my MP3 player from Woolworths online. And it's brilliant, absolutely no complaints. So I swallowed my pride and conformed by buying a nice little iPod Touch. There was never any chance of losing it, but equally, it wasn't the sort of sexy little gadget that you can secrete about your person subtly and it had a fair few flaws. Until then I had resisted, determined to rebel against the mainstream with a Creative Zen MP3 player, which in all honesty looked like one of those massive mobile phones from the 1980s.

I only got my first iPod just over a year ago. Peer-to-peer programs like Napster and Kazaa never appeared on my computer.īut I do own an MP3 player, and I do want to fill it to the brim with my favourite music, so what's the cheapest way to do it? The iTunes conundrum Obviously, I have never downloaded music illegally. Don't do all of your music shopping on iTunes - there are plenty of alternatives which will save you money!
