Anyone know a way around the Amazon "UK only" MP3 restriction??

AHB · **on:** September 21, 2012, 03:43:48 PM

I like to pay for the stuff I need, so I've found three MP3 albums with Lamb Of God on Amazon.co.uk I want to purchase... But when I try to check out I get the "The sale of MP3 Downloads is currently only available to UK customers." message, so does anyone know how to get around this restriction..?

I know I probably can find the same albums for "free" on some Torrent site, but that's not in question, I just don't want to pay over twice as much for them on a Danish site like CDON.com or even Amazon.de.

Any ideas?

I don't know a way round, but how about you pay for one overpriced album and get the others on torrent?

I remember I could not even buy MP3 players, to be posted out of the UK, though that can be sorted by having them forwarded using a friend etc.

I could download them for you from Amazon.

I know I can find the albums there, but we're talking double price (

) of Amazon.co.UK and I want to take the music along on my Iphone while I'm running..

You know Allan, if you pay 99kr a month you can use Spotify on your phone. I love Spotify since I can easily listen to the songs I want everywhere I go. Like today I felt like listening to some Pantera at the gym and it took me under a minute to find the album I wanted.

I still think 1200 kr. pr. year is too much, since I use Youtube/Spotify for free when I'm home.. It's just when I'm running I need to take the music with me..

Thanks to Millhouse I'm now listening to three new albums without getting into any swashbuckling piracy..
