Woolworths is much better than iTunes - Music

England Rocks · 29-04-2007, 17:11

Just noticed this - new release CDs on iTunes have started going up to £9.99...however, chart albums on woolworths downloads are avaliable for just £5.99

which is a shame cos ive always preferred iTunes.

Cheaper? Yes.
Better? No.

The only experience I've had with Woolworths downloads was a waste of money. Couldn't sync the tracks to my mp3 player.

Napster is the best. Don't get an iPod.

Agreed Napster is the best of the lot.

Napster is fantastic. If you genuinely love listening to absolutely loads of different music you really can't go wrong for the cost. Napster saved my life

I've seen some at £9.99 where the download includes videos and exclusive tracks but are there any normal new release albums being sold at £9.99 on iTunes?

Yeah Avril Lavigne, "Joe", Natasha Bedingfield, Linkin Park, Justin Timberlake, Kaiser Chiefs, The Fray, Travis are all £9.99 and Paulo Nutini's is £10.99!

I was looking at there site last and it didnt mention my mp3 player but it did say that if works with windows media player then it would work on napster, but I'm still unsure!

The Linkin Park album has two videos and an extra audio track on iTunes; Paolo Nutini has four extra tracks; Natasha Bedingfield has three extra tracks and so on. Avril Lavigne doesn't seem to have anything extra and Joe seems to have only one extra track. What's going on? Hard to say - you can buy most of them cheaper on CD than from iTunes, but that's not unusual.

The best is buying the CD for 7.99 or less and ripping it yourself into whatever format/quality you like and you get a hard copy with box and artwork

Paying the same for a downloaded album as a CD is a piss-take imo especially as the record companies tried justifying CD prices by pointing out duplicating, printing and distribution costs - none of which apply to downloads once the service is set up.

Well said ShaunIOW, its easy to buy the album for £7.99. You rip it to any old format. No syncing problems with your MP3 player, its easy!
