    Walmart MP3 Music Downloads Now Available in MP3

MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3) files offer high-quality sound and are more flexible and convenient to use. Here's why:

  • MP3 files play on most operating systems - Windows, Macintosh and Linux.
  • MP3 files play on almost all media players for Windows, Macintosh and Linux. They work on Windows Media™ Player, iTunes® and many more.
  • MP3 files play on almost all portable devices, including Apple iPod® and Microsoft Zune™.
  • MP3 files have no license files associated with them, so they are much easier to back up and move. You only have to move the MP3 file itself.
  • There are no restrictions on the number of computers or devices you can copy MP3s to, and no restrictions on the number of times you can burn them to a disc.

You get all the benefits above at competitive every day low prices at Walmart MP3 Music Downloads. Check back often for occasional special prices and bonus offers!

   
Song Prices
Most of our MP3 songs are 64¢, 94¢ or $1.24. Occasionally, Walmart will roll back pricing on select tracks - stay tuned! 
   


Album Prices
Most MP3 albums are $9.00. Check back often for special opportunities to get your favorite albums for even less.
