Dealzmodo: Save 50% On BigPond Music Vouchers
I generally don’t buy music online – I’m still a purist at heart who likes to own all my music on CDs. If I was planning on spending some online dollars on some tunes though, I’d be all over this deal from BigPond – essentially they’re offering 50% off the price of a $50 or $100 BigPond Music gift card. You can’t pick them up online, which means you actually have to go to the shops, but considering BigPond sell a good chunk of their music (from all the majors) in non-DRM’d MP3 format, it’s easy to buy the music from BigPond then transfer it over to iTunes (or other music management software for the half-dozen Apple haters out there). Deal runs until December 31st, so maybe it’s that perfect last-minute Xmas gift for that hard to please colleague?

Thanx for the tio.
Our kids have birthdays near Xmas, so maybe this will be the perfect gift to cover both events – since it they’ll use it longer than most
I started using Bigpond Music when I found out about the MP3s. There aren’t many options here for MP3 music stores. I still feel slightly unclean giving them any of my money.
There are two gripes I have with the store.
1) You have to ‘Right Click -> Save As..’ EVERY MP3 you purchase. Downloading an album is a pain. They really need to add an option to ZIP all purchased songs into a single file for easier download. It is this lack of easy of use that makes iTunes a much better service.
2) No Album art on MP3s. This isn’t too bad. It is easy enough to add it after, just annoying.
Cheers, Tim.
@Nick – Depends on your point of view. You may see yourself as a purist but the vinyl purists won’t be taking you seriously. They will be mocking you as they wait for their 76 year old mothers (that they still live with) to make them some more hot chocolate.
I’m sure there is some Giz reader somewhere saying “what’s vinyl?”
