They really get into it too. It is a great example of engaged and excited kids. Great work.

since its glorious DRM-free inception at the beginning of 2008, I’ve thought a few times, “hey I should but that album from amazon.” but then I load up rhapsody, which I already pay a ~$10/month subscription for, and there it is (usually…)
well today, as if the amazonian borg collective finally penetrated my mind, I get a no-strings offer of $5 towards their service just because I aready buy tons of my crap from them.
As someone who purchased $25 worth of products from Amazon’s Music or Electronics Stores between November 28, 2008 and December 25, 2008, you’ve qualified for a $5 promotional credit good for music downloads from Amazon MP3, Amazon.com’s digital music service.
it works, I bite. I go straight for an album I know won’t let me down, Metallica, Master of Puppets.
the process was extraordinarly smooth, even as a Linux user! amazon mp3 offers their little download app in four different software package flavors. I choose the most applicable to me, an Ubuntu .deb(ian) pkg.
within seconds it’s downloaded, installed, and my mp3s are on the way.
in short: great experience, if I ever need mp3s again I will buy from amazon. I can’t possibly foresee a single negative to using this service whatsoever.

further separating himself from the music industry, trent reznor has released his new album, Ghosts, as such: first 9 tracks (ghosts I) are free, all 36 (ghosts I-IV) for $5, 2xCD set for $10, $75 for a “deluxe edition,” and finally $300 for the supremo fan “ultra-deluxe ltd. edition.”
available now via:
- the offical ghosts release site – though extremely slow; the site has not been adequately “equipped” to handle the surging internet traffic driven by sites like digg, slickdeals, reddit, and probably every other mainstream media..
- amazon is also selling the $5 version.
I ordered from store.nin.com successfully… though, so far have been unable to complete the download for the version I paid for ($5). amazon is probably the way to go for now.
update 3/4 11am: site when down for 6-12 hours last night. it is back up today and blazing; download complete. way to go nin.com-tech! cheers.
