You can buy all of Abba's albums on bigpond music for the price of 1 album. According to Bigpond there's an Abba album called "The Albums", which has 99 tracks spread over 9 volumes. I came across it by chance….enjoy.

A Bad Band Again
Not my cup of tea but this is a very good deal!
excellent spot! thank you…
While I was there I went looking for other box sets with similar pricing…
found & bought:
Kiss - 5 disk set http://bigpondmusic.com/Album/Kiss/Kiss-Box-Set.aspx
genesis archive #1 http://bigpondmusic.com/Album/Genesis/Archive-1-1967-1975.as…
Andres Segovia box set http://bigpondmusic.com/Album/Andr%c3%a9s-Segovia-Guitar/Seg…
(and the abba collection)
ok so I have weird tastes :)
edit
oh oh - we seem to have broken their web store :(
BTW it seems bigpond requires the tracks to be downloaded within 1 hour of purchase - if you have 2gb of tracks (like I did) its unlikely you can download it fast enough to finish in the time limit.. especially if all the ozbarginers are sucking at the same time lol
but their support guy was really nice about it - says this album is hugely popular today ;-)edit again
you might want to keep close watch on your download limits!
my 2.9gb (4 albums) used over 5gb of download quota - ouchiesI managed to get this earlier today. It's listed at $79.99 in the US iTunes store, so definitely a bargain!
I bought it (just over an hour ago!) and the download manager is rubbish… it kept pausing at the start of a new track.
I'm currently able to download individual tracks but I'm only about 35 songs through… it's a long process 1 at a time - worth it to get a complete Abba collection, but still! GRRR - I just wish the download manager did it's job…
This morning early the download manager was working pretty well - but I think the entire store is suffering I couldn't even get to my account screen it was that bad there at the end. But the support guys was pretty good and assured me I'd get all the tracks one way or another :)
Yea, support has emailed me back and I installed the download manager on my laptop and that's working well now so maybe things are coming good… When it works it's a pretty good system. And I am impressed that support is so prompt on a Sunday evening!!!
I discovered that the downloader- gets stuck on a list of files (downloading - fail etc) and re-getting the list from the bigpond music queue page doesnt seem to help (it still keeps trying the bad files)
if you go to
C:\Documents and Settings\USER-NAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Downloader
and delete the downloader.config file it seems to let the program start fresh.
(USER-NAME is the login you are using on your computer you may not see it - in which case its the entry that isn't "all users")
maybe help you, maybe not.. maybe make your first born burst into flames… use at your own risk :)
I had issues with the Bigpond downloader as well.
Had to download individual tracks for a long time.
Then it magically worked.
My 100 song album downloaded.
Some of the albums started downloading from the beginning but most were fine.
It resumed from the last song I downloaded- most of the time.
Missed downloading 1 song from 400+.Never had to download songs within an hour though.
Lets keep adding to the collections of worthwhile?!? downloads for $16.50

100 tracks, $16.50
and
South Africas top 100
http://bigpondmusic.com/Album/South-Africas-Top-100-Songs/So…
another 100 tracksA tip for Mac users (the download manager is not available for Mac yet). To make things easier, hold down the Apple key and select each song - it will open a new tab in Safari and start the download straight away (this is quicker than right clicking on each song and waiting for the download to start before clicking on the next song).
The songs are added to iTunes automatically (and in my case, they were copied to the iTunes directory - you can check by right clicking on a song in iTunes and selecting 'Show in Finder'). You then need to delete the downloaded file from wherever it downloaded to.
Great find!
Need to find a 50% off Bigpond music voucher for even bigger savings!
Last time I got mine from Big W.I just looked on their website and it now says $100.
Some of the other links posted (elvis, rock 100) still say $16.50I'm wondering if this was a time-limited offer, or a mistake which they have since corrected.
$100 ouch - from one extreme to another
maybe they are doing anything to stem the huge download volumes off the site
"make them stop - do anything just make them stop" - the network admin to sales
the kiss set is up to $52.50 so if you are intending to get any of the sets mentioned here I'd suggest you better do it really fastmore: bryan adams set is up to $25 something.. cranberries set is $43
yep if you don't have them now probably too late
elvis has left the building - $100 nowon the upside I see the ABBA albums made it to the top selling list - top 6th right now :)
FYI - here is the list of tracks by albums that you will need to sort them out correctly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Albums
