I do not post too many Music Deals, but I am a sucker for FREE Music. BUT With last months 100 Album giveaway and NOW 50 MORE FREE Albums from Microsoft with Windows 8+…Woohoo! 🙂 These additional FREE Albums are not cheesy, they are all from very good artists. You will need Windows 8 or 8.1 on your computer or Windows 8 phone. I know that doesn’t work for everyone, but its whats needed for this deal. If you are TECH savvy, there is another option, but I would consider it a Advanced option. (see below for this option)
Deal Details
Microsoft is giving away 50+ Albums for Free with a promo associated with XBOX Live.
(Plus alot of the previous 100 albums are FREE again, if you missed them the first time)
Here are the steps!
- Click HERE to add XBOX Live for FREE to your Windows Log in!(if you have never done this)
- Click HERE (if you’re using PC w/ Windows 8)
- Click HERE (if you’re using Smartphone w/ Windows 8)
- Install the “Music Deals” App to your PC or Smartphone
- Open up the “Music Deals” App
- Click on “Holiday Freebies” 100 Free Albums (as seen above, scroll to the right)
- Start selecting the albums you want for FREE
- When you click on the Get for FREE, it will open up the “Music” App
- Once you see your album, Click the green “Get it Free MP3”
- It will ask you to confirm “purchase”
- Your album will start downloading!
The nice thing is that the songs once downloaded are in a DRM Free MP3 format!!! You can access them through the Music app, or directly in this directory, C:\Users\{Your Username}\Music\Xbox Music\Purchases\
