Google is keeping the holiday spirit
alive on the Android Market by trimming
prices on more than half a million albums
and ten million songs.
Initially kicked off early last week, the
blowout music sale offers a large array of
albums for just $4.99 and an even larger
array of individual tracks for just 49 cents.
Though advertised as a limited time offer,
the sale is continuing to run past
Christmas.
Marked-down albums include ones from
the likes of the Rolling Stones, Aretha
Franklin, Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, and
Rihanna. The individual tracks also
represent a diverse playlist from such
artists as U2, Amy Winehouse, Elton John,
the Beatles, and Frank Sinatra. Being a big
jazz fan, I discovered a healthy collection
of jazz albums and songs on sale.Android users can download songs and
albums directly to their devices. However,
non-Android users can also grab their
favorite music by storing it on their cloud-
based Google Music page or downloading
it to their computers in the form of MP3
files.
The search giant launched its Music store
around the middle of November in an
effort to compete with iTunes and other
online audio services.
Beyond its blowout sale, Google has been
offering more than 100 songs for free ,
including tunes from Kelly Clarkson, Kenny
Chesney, Five for Fighting, Harry Connick
Jr., and Elvis Presley.
