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 However please note itunes only provides its data to external sites once a week so its price can sometimes be out of date.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.

KINGS OF LEON ONLY BY THE NIGHT 
Running time: 42:34 mins
KINGS OF LEON, ONLY BY THE NIGHT(Click for the cheapest single downloads from this album)
KINGS OF LEON, ONLY BY THE NIGHTAlready on course to be one of the year's biggest sellers Only By the Night has sealed Kings of Leon's unlikely position as Britain's favourite American rock band. The Followill brothers (and cousin) have always been tagged as part of a southern rock tradition of family bands such as the Allmans and Lynyrd Skynyrd a label they vehemently refuted. But the skinny lads certainly looked like a classic rock act even as they took musical inspiration from indie contemporaries The Strokes and eighties new wave acts such as The Cure and New Order. Only By the Night is effectively a sequel to 2006's terrific Because of the Times their third record and the first where they nailed their own sound a striking amalgam of bluesy vocals and post-punk primitivism. In comparison Only By the Night consolidates rather than advances their style. The appropriately incoherent "Sex on Fire" already a chart topping single is catchy but sounds lightweight next to songs like the fierce "Crawl" and the stadia-ready "Cold Desert" and "Manhattan". The dissonant almost amateurish "17" is most out of place though Caleb Followill still bawls it with the same passion he brings to even the clumsiest couplet. More notable are several sparse romantic pleas that often borrow licks from classic Southern soul. The yearning "I Want You" is little more than its title but it certainly convinces while "Revelry" and the vulnerable "Use Somebody" show signs of impending maturity. Only By the Night's simplicity certainly has a wide appeal. --Steve Jelbert |

(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: 10th February at 10:32 |
