Credit goes to Selma over at SD. Fantastic deal.

I've never been a huge Beethoven fan, but $2 for 99 songs is just crazy. Maybe i'll find something in there I like that I hadn't heard before. One commenter over at SD noted that many of the songs are not from a full composition, you may just find one or two movements from the same one. Nevertheless, still a good deal if you ask me.

Thanks. I'm trying to get into classic music, and couldn't pass this up.

This is the first time I've ordered MP3s from Amazon. Maybe I'm confused, but it looks like I got it for free. My order details show the $1.99 price with a -$1.99 promotion.

I got it for free too! it had minus 1.99 promotions notation. Would have been happy to pay the two bucks. You have to check "digital downloads" in recent order section.

Maybe it had to do with clicking the instant purchase button. At least I did that.

And thanks op!!!!!

Great deal, thanks OP...

For those of you getting it for free, have you bought anything else off amazon in the past month or so? They were running a deal where you got $5 for mp3 purchases when you made any electronics purchase.

I'll have to check this out. I think I got $5 credit too. Though, I don't like the idea of installing amazon mp3 downloader program...

Great Deal! Anyone have any trouble playing the mp3s? I downloaded the set but can't play any of them (all but 4 have a file size is 6 kb which def doesn't seem right).

After you buy it, can you download one time only or can you do multiple downloads from different computers?
