Tips & Warnings

• Set a budget to avoid overspending. Only purchase albums within a budget, keeping in mind each song will cost 99 cents.
• Keep or print out the email you get when you create an account. It has your log-in information which you may need to reference at a later point.
• Albums, movies, podcasts and TV shows vary in price. Nothing in the store is free unless it is labeled as such.
• Music or shows with explicit language or topics will be identified, but not removed.
