Yesterday was a great day for me too. I ended up with 16 albums for about $20 Amie money, which is probably about $8 real money.
I just checked the Amie Top 25 - I apparently have 20 of them.
Between Amie, the 3 eMu accounts … -
Feast or famine. Some weeks I get 30 albums from the site, other weeks nada.
I think the last significant label drop where a lot was free at one time was the Tru-Thoughts label. Amazingly, several of their albums remained free for almost… -
Just Google:
"Amie Street" and "50% off". You'll get a whole page of links to various blogs and music sites. Apparently some of the links on those pages will activate the discount even if the link is several months old.

Since early 2008.
I actually signed up much earlier, like a few weeks after it launched, but there was absolutely nothing there of interest at the time, so I forgot about it for a couple of year, until someone posted on eMu that the Buri… -
Samponic... is that Slavic for tampon?
-
Actually, I downloaded that album when it was free. I wish I would had RECed it, since I'd be making a sweet 43-50 cents a track.
It's got some good stuff on it - especially the slow ones. -
Thanks for the heads up. I got a few of them that were still free.

Well Daytripper...
There are a couple of people with more with more street cred than I or jujubeebop have, but they are affiliated with Amie Street - one being their Web Designer. My average could per REC be higher, but I've been handin… -
The last couple of Tuesdays have been pretty good. Otherwise not much unless your tastes run to Crimson Razorback,
TKW Band, or Prose in Rosette (I cringe at that name).
I think if you're looking for Amie to be the great trough of … -
I do like the cities - except for the weather that is about to come and stay for 6 months.
As far as Pitchfork goes, I think it's a case of separating the message from the messenger. That and the fact with their revolving cast of reviewe… -
I only have 19 of the 200. Seems like a good number to me, as I enjoy reading Pitchfork but don't want to identify with them too much.

Like Raymond23 and Wanderer, you're such a contrary bastard! Damn… -
I think I'm missing about 13-14 out of the whole list (after buying about 20 from the Lala sale)- mainly the major label Rap/R&B stuff.
I'll have to say I haven't closely listened to a lot of the stuff outside of the top 50 or so. I'… -
I Think you have two things at work here.
First, people tend to rank albums that they've lived with for a while (and which have stood the test of time) more highly than newer ones. Second, there are two AC albums that made it pretty hig… -
Craig, that will teach you to slut around on the great eMu...
-
I ended up buying 18 of the albums for an average of $2 apiece. Can't pass up that deal.
-
Thanks for the heads up. They have a lot of albums not available at eMu or Amie - some really good ones for around $2
So far I picked up:
Hercules and Love Affair - S/T
Lightning Bolt - Wonderful Rainbow
Love is A… -
Mmmmmmmmm. doughnuts!

I've got the stereo box on order with Amazon but it's back ordered. The price was only $179.99, and still is - a good deal if you're willing to wait a few weeks.
Target also has a good deal this week on the individual albums. All but the… -
I've always felt we should let people bitch away, unless they're doing something like trying to hijack every other thread (something we've seen a fair amount at the other site that shall remain nameless).

I've been binging on hard drives lately. Bought 4 1TB drives in the last two months plus a 320 WD mini drive.
The prices have been right (average $75 per 1TB drive, $50 for the 320 GB). My goal is to have all my music on a couple of driv… -
Although with the 24 track a month plan, you get most of your money's worth upfront with the bonus credits. Even if they go under after 4-5 months, you'll still come out ahead over going month to month. I will admit that the 200 bonus does smack of …
-
Yup. I have been a loyal member since 2002, 2004, and 2005 respectively.
They loyally charged my credit card three times a month, so I will loyally accept the bonus credits.
Note to mod: can we bump up the default amount of t… -
SWEEET!!!!!! With 3 accounts, that's 150 tracks I hadn't counted on, but am happy to have.
It seems like they have been learning a lesson on the value of rewarding longtime customers. It's too bad they didn't figure it out before driving… -
Yes, technically it is a revision of the plans offered.
But it's a pretty big change from what was offered before today, as it effectively slashes the price by more than a third.
The question for me is whether eMu will be aro… -
Kylie Auldist - Made of Stone.
Very Funky. Think Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings crossed with Tina Turner. -
Looks like another deluge!
-
That's right download that xx album. I RECed all the tracks when it was free.... It's a good album, I've listened to it a couple of times already.
-
I'd see if you can order it through your local library and record it. Screw em if they are willing to offer it for a reasonable price.

So they're lettin' the loonies run the asylum now?
