On iTunes right now....which is 11pm on the 28th of July.

You can get the album with or without the bonus tracks for the same price of $9.99!

Obviously, that means you get the bonus tracks for FREE!!

DID YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, EVERYONE?

I will say this one more time so everyone understands.

Alice Cooper-Along Came A Spider (no bonus tracks) =$9.99

OR--

Alice Cooper-Along Came A Spider (with 3 bonus tracks)=$9.99

now, go buy your ACAS---NOW!!

I've already purchased 6 copies of ACAS, should I go for 7?
And in a stunted format. I will probably just buy the bonus tracks seperately.

Over here, there are two on offer, one with the bonus tracks, and one without, but, with a digital booklet. This is only available when the album is purchased.

Are the bonus tracks available in iTunes Plus?

I downloaded them but they're in .mp4 format and when I click "iTunes Plus" it says nothing to upgrade.

This sucks.

Edit: I should have played them first... they appear to be in plus format at 256 bitrate already. I assumed they would be priced higher.

I guess they're not truly .mp3s but rather .mp4s which means they won't play on all my players out-of-the-box. Aaaaaaargh

Well, there must be a way to convert them. I have every intention to convert them to WAV, for CD burning, so MP3 conversion must be possible.

I converted them to .FLAC format which my converted iPod plays so as to not lose any quality. I use Rockbox on my iPod instead of the native operating system and while it gives it lots more functionality, one of the few codecs it doesn't play is .mp4 due to rights issues.

If you transcode them to .MP3 you will seriously degrade the quality.

This is why I prefer online music stores like Amazon's because they sell their songs in high quality .MP3 files which means they will be able to play on ALL players both old and new because *everything* plays MP3.
