A significant majority of the time when I want to purchase MP3s from iTunes it is cheaper for me to purchase the CD from Amazon and have it shipped to me, then iTunes match it. I've got about 80 or so CDs I've done this with.
I don't know if I'm exploiting a loophole or not, but I figure because I have the physical CD at my desk, it's legit. I'm still uncertain if this is shady behavior on my part or not - but I save $2-$3 / CD, so I keep doing it.
- southpolesteve 14y agoI believe that is totally legit. You should check out Murfie.com
- bjustin 14y agoThey have said that Match is for getting high quality versions of songs that you ripped from CDs, so no reason to feel bad here.
- Raphael 14y agoYou are making a trade-off in time, since you have to wait for the CD to ship and then you have to go to the trouble to rip it.
- ghshephard 14y agoRight - the vast majority of these CDs are classic releases from the 70s, 80s - definitely not time sensitive. Amazon just tends to have them for super cheap, whereas iTunes keeps the price high. I figure now I have the best of _three_ worlds. Physical CD, Itunes Match syncs it across all my gear - and now, presumably, it will stay in my Amazon Locker forever.
