Amazon MP3 has announced new ongoing promotions called “Daily Deals” and “Friday Five” that offer deep discounts on new releases and albums from the Amazon catalog. The Daily Deals campaign will be updated daily and offer popular albums at discounted prices.

The Friday Five promotion will offer five albums at $5 per album starting Friday and going throughout the weekend. Amazon says that all of the MP3 tracks it sells are without DRM protection. Amazon says the Friday Five this week will be Rolling Stone's "Let It Bleed," Frank Sinatra's "The Essential Frank Sinatra," Robert Plant & Alison Krauss' "Raising Sand," Linkin Park's "Minutes to Midnight" and Andrea Bocelli's "Vivere - The Best Of”.

"Amazon is constantly looking for ways to lower our prices for customers," said Pete Baltaxe, director, Amazon MP3. "Promotions like the Daily Deal and Friday Five are a great way to introduce customers to the everyday low prices, ease of use and instant gratification of purchasing digital music from Amazon MP3. For a few dollars and with a couple clicks, customers can have a new album on their iPod, Zune or iPhone for their summer soundtrack."
