I think Amazon bought Amie Street to shut down a competitor and to encourage Amie Street customers to turn to Amazon, first through the $5.00 credit given to Amie Street customers to entice them to browse Amazon's MP3 collection, then through having…

After my last message, I took some time to get some free New Age albums. Since Amie Street was spotty about letting me purchase and download stuff, I decided to not spend any more money and just go for the free stuff. Now that Amie Street is forward…

Since learning of Amie Street's imminent demise, I picked up a bunch of Psy Trance albums to use for exercising:
Tshitraka Project Vol. 3 by Tshitraka Project
Wonderland by Tulk
Polaris by Polaris
In Between by Polaris<… -
Some of the songs I previously mentioned are prayerful: Sound of Silence, Fireflies, and even parts of Clocks. Although they are not religious songs, they convey a sense of awe and sacredness. While I got so tired of Madonna that I got rid of my Mad…

Perfect pop songs tend to attract more great covers. Here are some pop songs I think highly of, along with some excellent covers.
The Sound of Silence by Simon and Ga… -
Thanks for mentioning this. It's nice to get free classical music.
I downloaded the WMA files for Bizet's Carmen Suite and found they were lacking ID3 tags. I then downloaded the MP3 files for the same album and found they were also miss… -
Nereffid, we may have come to Classical music differently. I grew up with Classical music as a child, and my first exposure to it was mainly through my parents' record collection. There were some compilation albums, but there were also complete piec…

JFLL, having album-only tracks doesn't detract from my main point, which was the cost of tracks in the UK. AFAIK, a four-track symphony is still going to cost someone in the UK four credits even if some of the tracks are album-only, whereas in the U…

There is a cover album of Sketches of Spain, selling for less than the Miles Davis album.

I forgot you were in the UK. One of the finest composers from your own country is Arnold Bax. His symphonies and tone poems are all very enjoyable. Although you can't get albums with many tracks for only 12 credits, you can still get any track for o…

A good place to start is with the three biggest Classical composers: Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Ludwig van Beethoven. Nereffid has already recommended some Bach to you. Since you like the piano, I'll recommend that you get s…

I normally browse through the lists of new releases provided by Mutantis, looking mainly for artists I already like, but sometimes for interesting band names or album titles. Finding albums this way has frequently used up my downloads before their e…

Although I haven't tested myself by putting multiple performances of a piece on shuffle, I can say that I do prefer some performances over others. For example, I prefer Pnina Becher's performance of Bach's Goldberg Variations over Glenn Gould's. For…

While there is nothing I would want to put on repeat and listen to over and over again, there are some albums I have continued to regularly play year after year for many years.

Since some people have mentioned Yes, I'll add that Yes is a band that has continued to sound fresh to me ever since I first started listening to them in the early 80's, sometime between 90125 and Big Generator. For me, part of the appeal of Yes is …

A related question would be, how did you get into jazz? In hindsight, my first exposure to jazz was probably through cartoons. I heard Vince Guaraldi through Peanuts cartoons, some traditional jazz in a Flintstones episode, and maybe some more jazz …

My jazz collection extends from Artie Shaw in the 30's to Hiromi in the present, largely centering around Miles Davis and Keiko Matsui. I'm not very much into traditional jazz, bebop, free jazz, or much of what gets called smooth jazz, but I enjoy s…

Would you elaborate on this? What you've written here doesn't give me any leads on what to search for. -
Here are some economical and great-sounding albums of Bach's music that I have gotten from Audio Lunchbox:
Goldberg Variations/J.S. Bach performed by Pnina B. Becher on … -
I've downloaded some double albums by Lana Lane and by her husband Erik Norlande…

Novus Magnificat: Through the Stargate by Constance Demby - A New Age classic for only two downloads.

I've decided to redirect some of the money I would have spent on renewing my biannual emusic subscription. First, I just bought an annual subscription to napster.com for $60.00. Before signing up, I checked that it supported multiple major labels, N…

Thanks for continuing to post the list of new albums over here. These lists are the main way that I keep up with what is new at emusic. One advantage to posting them here is that I no longer have to deal with the scripts running on the emusic forum …

Haydn > Mozart. Agreed, my comments on this are in the other thread.
Beatles > Stones. Agreed.
Who > Zeppelin. I like the Who but am not so familiar with Zeppelin, so Who by default.
Peter Gabriel > Phil Collins. Except… -
Earlier this year, due to the U.S. switch to digital TV stations, I replaced the small TV/Radio in the Kitchen with a small CD Player/Tape Player/Radio. Since it has no line-in ports for my MP3 player, I began to play CDs on it while making breakfas…
