iPod user? You can save too
iPod/iPhone users don't have to use iTunes to buy music, you can still compare and download music from other providers to your iPod/iPhone. Once you've downloaded your MP3, most providers will automatically add it to your iTunes library or at least give you the option. If not, you should be able to simply drag and drop the folder into iTunes.

Q. How does it work?
When you type in a song or album it zips to nine major music download retailers to find the best price. In some cases, these are already stored, as the site also repeatedly builds a database of prices by scanning the various retailers every 24 hours.
There can be small pricing errors in between scan times. If you spot any errors please email tunechecker@tunechecker.com. However please note itunes only provides its data to external sites once a week so its price can sometimes be out of date.
To help you search, each week, the Official Charts Company supplies us with the top 40 pop albums & singles, plus the RnB, Classical & Dance top 40 which get loaded into the Tunechecker.
So simply use the menu to browse the top 40 or use the search box to look for a specific artist, track or album.
Who's included?
Currently the following retailers are included in the TuneChecker: iTunes, Amazon, Play, 7digital, HMV, we7, Tesco, Orange & Tunetribe. If you think we're missing a provider please email: tunechecker@tunechecker.com (we are currently looking to add Sky Songs and Juno).
Q. Are they DRM free tracks?
Yes. DRM, Digital Rights Management is the software designed to control how a file can be used; more specifically how it's downloaded, played, copied and shared. All the providers in the Tunechecker do not use DRM to protect tracks.
Q. Is an mp3 player needed?
You don't need an MP3 player to listen to downloads, you can play them off your laptop or PC using free software like iTunes or Windows Media Player.
Q. MP3s & CDs the same?
In terms of the songs you get downloads are simply a virtual version of a CD, exactly the same minus the case the solid CD! Occasionally CDs might have extra bonus tracks or vice versa. However MP3s are a compressed version of a CD. As such it means the quality of MP3s will be slightly less than a CD, but only those with high-tech speakers or sensitive ears will be able to tell the difference.
You can compare the quality of MP3s by looking at the bit rate of the download - the higher the bit rate, usually the better the quality. Different retailers use various bit rates for tracks. We're looking to add this to info to the TuneChecker in the future.
Q. Can't find a track?
The TuneChecker lists the current top 40, the top 40 from the last five years, plus searches Amazon's entire download catalogue. Most mainstream tracks should be in there but if there's one you think is missing email tunechecker@tunechecker.com
Q. Cashback boost?
It's sometimes possible to get cashback on top. Cashback sites are websites that list retailers/product providers and get paid if you click through them. Importantly, they then give some or all of this cash to you.
If you're new to this concept, please read MoneySavingExpert.com's Best Cashback Sites guide before continuing, as while there shouldn't be a problem with these deals, the payout on cashback sites is never guaranteed. If there's a dispute with the retailer and the cashback site doesn't get paid, you don't either.

ARCADE FIRE NEON BIBLE
Running time: 46:59 mins
ARCADE FIRE, NEON BIBLE(Click for the cheapest single downloads from this album)
ARCADE FIRE, NEON BIBLEHow do the Arcade Fire follow-up not just one of the best debut albums ever but possibly also one of the best indie albums of all time? Well Neon Bible is a good place to start. After the success of Funeral expectations were high for a follow up. But really how could any band be expected to repeat that level of achievement twice in a row? And who can fault a band for setting their own standards so high? If there's one criticism of Neon Bible (named after author John Kennedy Toole's first novel) it's that it's not Funeral. But any other band would consider Neon Bible a towering achievement for the simple reason that it is. "Keep the Car Running" displays all of the trademarks of the Arcade Fire's best work building to a crescendo by adding layers and layers of synths to a deceptively simple tune. "Intervention" meanwhile is easily the biggest-sounding song they've yet recorded exploding with pipe organ over strummed guitars strings and a choir. Occasionally lead singer Win Butler risks being lost behind all of this noise particularly as his voice has lost some of the strained intensity that made Funeral so affecting (and in fact on "(Antichrist Television Blues)" he even sounds a bit like 80's-era Springsteen). But there's no denying that Neon Bible is a stellar album from a band worth discovering. --Ted Kord |

(Some providers price albums by combining single tracks)
Sometimes albums are priced per track
Some providers price albums per track which means the results can will range massively. For example an album that has 100 tracks maybe £6.99 on site but end up costing £49 on another (100x49p). This isn't an issue when looking for the cheapest but do double check that the running time of the downloads are the same.| Last updated: 17th May at 10:33 |
