Blog about the deal. It's supposed to be for Windows 10 only but I could purchase them in 8.1.

Yeah, in Windows 10, go to Music, and scroll down to Deals, then "Select all" to see them, simply click on the album and hit the "Free" button and give it a moment, then Back up and do it again for the next album.

That's for the other button, they normally have that for most albums. Click on the first button that says "FREE" and you should be all set.

They are free. I was able to buy them with Palemoon browser in Windows 8.1 and I'm downloading them now with the Music app.

Finally got them...

Not really familiar with most of the artists but I grabbed them just in case. Thanks!

Sound and Color is quite awesome....title track was featured in the new iPad commercial.

Thanks! Interesting choice of artists. Tame Impala is awesome (if you're into sort of trippy psychedelic rock).

Sigh...their music app really sucks.

I left it opened and switch back to the browser while downloading all the albums so they are available offline. I come back after football and it is still downloading 83 and download error.

Apparently the music app needs to be front and center for it to actually download.

Also why does it have three different names: Music, Xbox music, Groove Music Player?

I'm on Win 8.1 and mine did the same thing. I snapped? (pulled down and to one side) the app to one side of my desktop screen and just left it up so it would dl. I rarely use the start screen and apps so that's all I could come up with as a solution.

AFAIK Groove is only on Windows 10. Music is for other Windows versions. Xbox should be for the xbox although my download folder was labeled Xbox Music.

Between the freebies and the black friday week $1 and .10 songs and albums I now have over 1300 songs for less than $55.
