I have pretty much ditched iTunes when it comes to purchasing music. I still use it to manage my music but with their unique song formats it becomes a pain when I want to load a song onto one of the kids mp3 players.

Instead I’ve been using Amazon.com to buy and download mp3s, then import into iTunes. First, all their songs are .99 – can’t say the same for iTunes.

Second, they have AWESOME deals if you keep any eye out.

Like this one. Audrey Assad’s new album (yes, the WHOLE thing) for $2.99. I discovered Audrey Assad for the first time last winter when I heard “Winter Snow” on Chris Tomlin’s Christmas album. I pretty much listened to it on repeat all Christmas season.

Love this album. Of course I was impatient and bought it when it first released. I’m appeasing my guilt by passing the great deal on to you. I think it’s for today only, so hurry!

If you want to get notified of great deals, follow Amazon Mp3 on Twitter.
