If it's for singles, Amazon is far cheaper than iTunes.

Albums are all priced about the same. It's more wprth your money going out and buying the physical CD. Play.com do fairly recent CD's for really cheap. And HMV do two for £10.

You can also download from Play.com. About the same as iTunes I think.

yep, I'm after an album, an old one at that. Been looking around and it's just as much to download as it is to buy the cd, HMV haven't got it at all. Guess I'll have to make an order from Play.

Try looking on Amazon marketplace. If its an old CD you want, then you can usually get really cheap second hand copies on there.

that's usually my first port of call, especially zoverstock who I use quite a bit but this time the cheapest I can find, secondhand is £6, plus add another £1.50 p&p, not that much cheaper than a brand new copy.

that's a handy little search engine, better than the google shopping option.

It's worth noting, that MP3's on Amazon tend to be 256kps, Play are normally 320kps.......

I often buy secondhand CDs from play.com. They are cheap and you dont have to pay postage. Amazon secondhand CDs are about the same price if you include postage, I just normally tend to go with play. Though you should be careful to check out who you buy from. I usually buy from Zoverstocks (who has already been mentioned on here) who is cheap and reliable, though the condition of the cases does vary slightly.

What? All my Amazon MP3s are encoded at 320kbps?
