Dead (predictably since this was a one-day sale posted a week ago). All these albums are full price currently.

This became a super huge problem for me after they did that as well. It required that you use a Windows based PC or a Mac to download music from the Cloud Player or simply download songs 1 by 1.
Well, running Linux, I had to download songs 1 by 1. All these things added up to me switching to the Play store.
I'm sure all this is just fine for 98% of people, just not me. I think we cleared this up for everyone though!

@druke: Okay, I see the issue here. Two parts, actually.

Until the Cloud Player was introduced, this definitely was a glaring problem. I remember that proviso of "you can't re-download" from a while ago. Since the advent of the Amazon Cloud/Cloud Player over a year ago, that is obsolete since you can set your account to automatically add all Amazon digital purchases to your free Cloud account (Amazon stores purchases from them for free; this is actually the default, I believe?).

So technically you cannot re-download from the Amazon MP3 store, but it is really easy (if not the default) to choose to have your purchases instantly added to your free Cloud Player storage, at least in a supported browser. Again, I cannot attest to the compatibility with mobile devices first-hand.

@dxdn: (http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_mp3faq_dlagain?nodeId=200154210) They say: "Can I download another copy of my MP3 files after the initial purchase?
Your Amazon MP3 Music purchases can only be downloaded once. After you have successfully downloaded the file to your computer at the time of purchase, we recommend that you create a backup copy.

We are currently unable to replace any purchased files that you delete or lose due to a system or disk error. If you encounter a problem with an MP3 file immediately after purchase, please click the Customer Service button in the Contact Us box in the right-hand column of this page so we can determine how to help you."
I can attest to this as after I downloaded an album and accidentally deleted it, I chatted with their support and got an awesome answer of, sorry, you're SOL. I'll buy just about anything else from Amazon, just not MP3s anymore. CDs, sure.

@subrec: It's funny that it's actually a mix of yes and no-ish. At least one the Google albums is a expanded deluxe version, while Amazon matched with a non-deluxe version ("Ocean Eyes" by Owl City). Amazon has "Born to Die" with a digital booklet (a PDF version of liner notes) to match the one on Google Play which does not have the digi-liner. When the price is the same, I always choose the albums with the liner notes because I'm really still a CD loyalist, I just have a budget that doesn't always allow me to get CDs.

@druke:

1. Amazon MP3s are all DRM free.
2. Amazon MP3s are all downloadable multiple times (unlimited, I believe).
3. The only real difference: Amazon's encoding rates vary and they don't disclose it. Don't know of any complaints of them using bit rates too low for good quality.
4. Amazon's online Cloud Player works great on PCs/laptops. I have no experience with it on a mobile device.

@subrec: I wouldn't purchase from them anyway. Google Play is all DRM free, downloadable more than one time, MP3s come in 320Kbps and works really swell with their music site and app for Android.

The only real question here is: has Amazon matched the prices yet? :)

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
