Mp3 Download Help

[Prudie]

Please help, someone has asked for an album from amazon that is only available as an MP3 download, how exactly can I buy that as a gift, how does it get to the recipient?

Thanks Chill, so is that the only way to do it?

[ChillDoubt]

You could see if it's been posted on youTube, then download and convert it for free via 'other means'!

[Prudie]

So how does it work then if say I wanted to download it to my ipod - just out of interest. It can't be only through gift certs, there's tons of MPs tracks for sale.

[ChillDoubt]

As my second link shows, music from Amazon will play on just about anything so yes, you can play it on your iPod.
99% of my music has been converted to mp3 (basically, my whole CD library) for use on all devices.

Thanks, I'm at work and youtube is blocked, I'll look when I get home.

Prudie,
What you do is find the track/album you want (if it's free on youTube) then copy and paste that link into this:

http://www.vidtomp3.com/

It downloads in mp3 format, then you just have to add the additional info (artist, album/single name etc) and picture/album art yourself, then c&p it into iTunes.

You can also buy i-tunes gift cards from Post Offices!

Not everyone wants to use i-Tunes. I certainly don't.

Just buy the Amazon gift card. That way the singer/group will get their royalties from the album. Better than stealing the album, don't you think?

[Prudie]

Thanks spudqueen, I often buy itunes gift vouchers but this isn't available on itunes. I certainly wouldn't steal it no, looks like an Amazon MP3 voucher is the only way to go. It was on someone's present list but it's actually impossible to give it to them!

[spudqueen]

Glad you're getting it sorted Prudie. Whoever put this on their list obviously didn't think it through!
