100 great classical music MP3s for $0.99. I've done at least 20 of these in my Sunday Classical series.
This is insanely great music, essentially free.
UPDATE 13 June 2012 16:51: Man, this music is spectacular. Even The Guys in the office don't mind me playing it.

What seems odd is that I recognize more of the music than I do the movies. I don't think I'm missing out though, not if they credit O, Fortuna as being in Jackass: The Movie. It was in Excalibur long before that.
And it was used in the James Burke series "Connections".
OK, I bought it. Now how do I download it from their 'cloud'?
drjim, there's an Amazon downloader. In the iCloud, click the box that selects all the songs and click "Download". It will prompt you to download and install their downloader.
I just found out I can download them one-at-a-time.
They offer a Linux version of their downloader, but it needs some extra libraries, and it's a 32-bit version.
Since I'm running a 64-bit version of Linux (OpenSUSE), I'll have to stumble around a bit (no pun!) to get all the dependencies resolved.....
You freaked me out. I thought it was $0.99 for all 100, not $0.99 each.
Not that it's a bad deal, but 99 cents for the hundred would have really been epic!
Very cool. Since I'm migrating all my music to a new cloud drive, this is just the moment to get this.
Graybeard, it is $0.99 for the whole album. Or you can buy each song for 99 cents, but Amazon says that the album saves you $90 or whatever over the cost of the songs individually.
nice work
@ drjim: Try Pymazon. It works perfectly for me in Kubuntu 11.10, and you don't have to fool around with Amazon's version (which, IIRC, requires an outdated library that's no longer supported, because Amazon hasn't updated it in a while).
Thanks, Jake. I'll give it a try.
Amazon rotates their 100 best or 99 best of... for $.99 or $1.99. keep a look out, I picked up The 99 Darkest Pieces Of Classical Music, The 99 Most Essential Piano Pieces and The 99 Most Essential Classical Pieces For Your Mind for $1.99 each. Good stuff. Now I see they are $5,49 and the Piano one is no longer available. Keep an eye out for what type of music you like and you can get good deals there.
I just saw they changed the piano collection to 99 Must-Have Piano Masterpieces for $1.99. Sry for the anon earlier I clicked the wrong button.
