And for my organizational purposes, I think of these more as twelve separate CDs than disc x/12 in a box set since these were released individually and not modified for the box set (as far as I can tell). That part is personal preference though.

This was my first time using amazon mp3 service and must say I'm throughly impressed by it, both in quality and ease of use. It was hard not to try it with a price like this, thank you for sharing pangaea!

Is there anyway to get this without having to use the amazon mp3 downloader? I have neither itunes nor Windows Media Player on my computer...

How do you manage that, then? When I tried to buy it from the U.K. I got a message that one couldn't download from Amazon.com outside the U.S.

 

[dazzer1975]

yeah the ony option to u.k. customers is to buy the cd st at 125 quid or 250 dollars.

Needless to say this is one customer they wont be getting custom from.

I don't think so. Why not install, download and uninstall if you don't want?

I'm not familiar with many of the artists, but have liked much of what I've heard. I'm entralled with the the tacks by Gateway. Most groovin' fusion I've heard in a while, especially "How's Never". Killer bass line, sharp drumming, and great guitar work over it all. The sound quality seems good. I've been listening on speakers, though.

Amazon downloads generally run at 256 kb/s. Not totally lossless, but better than most on-line services.

Friendly neighborhood bump as the sale appears to still be on and I'm listening to it at the moment.

This is usually not my style of jazz (old school) but I listened to samples and, as a completist (music) I took the recommendation here of folks who know better and purchased it. Really a fantastic deal. I'm too old for rock and roll all the time anyway. Should provide me with many soothing hours. I can't wait to sample the ECM house sound on my full system. And a fantastic bargain.I'm normally a bad boy about downloading, but that kind of price makes me a convert.

Sadly available only to citizens of the US & A

It seems I won't be able to download it running Windows 2000, true?

I notice In a Silent Way and a Bernstein/Gershwin album are priced at $1.99 each. I suspect they're (inadvertently?) charging .99 per track even when it's a whole album side.

 

[zowie]

I just grabbed Rocket to Russia for only $1.99. I've owned it on vinyl since around when it came out, but I'm willing to spend $1.99 for a digital version for the iPod.

Thanks to whoever started this thread and made me aware of Amazon mp3 deals.

outside the US I guess i'll have to find it elsewhere for free
