Anyone noticed recently !

That the price of many mp3 albums are now a lot dearer that buying a new cd !

was gonna by a album (Pantera not a lot of call for most djs on here) in MP3 format but on looking around is far cheeper buying the cd !!

The MP3 album was £8.49 to buy the cd new inc shipping was £4.99

Seems a shame as have cut my cds as been purchasing mp3s either comp albums or just teh odd track - looks as if I'm gonna go the other way on many cds

Yes, I've noticed that ever since MP3 albums were first made available to download. It's quite ridiculous really, and it shows that the record labels take the general public for mugs.

I've not noticed that MP3 albums are more expensive than CD albums, but I HAVE noticed that lots of download singles are now 99p rather than 79p on the site I use.

Serves you right for falling for the marketing ploy. :p Many are 29p instead of 79p where I go. :D ( and yes, some are 99p :( )

Creature, yes, I've noticed quite a few MP3 albums dearer than CD equivalents. Crackers.

I don't mind...it all helps to reduce the tax bill!

No Rob, you reduce the tax bill in two ways.
Buying four times as many tracks at 29p rather than 99p.
Buying new toys. You should see what's coming soon for the day job. ;) :D :D

At the download store I use some tracks are even free! Mind you, the ones I need to buy are usually 59p-79p but it makes sense buying the album sometimes!

but it makes sense buying the album sometimes!

I usually buy greatest hits if im after mp3 albums

as for the free mp3s i keep track off them but non that I could use so far :(

I imust admit I tens to play amazon, 7digital & HMV for the best prices just sometimes a real bargain appears comparied to the other sites :):)

Worth every penny :) Seriously.

No arguments there. However, it's even better value at £3.97. :D :D :D :D
