The following items were ordered:

Where You Belong [MP3 Download] $0.22

Inner Peace [MP3 Download] $0.24

I'll probably listen to the ones I have the most doubts about first -- like the two from Life! Beats. Just the opposite of what would be best.

[Later discovered that all those sub-$1 downloads were gone the next day, jacked up to $6 or so. I'm glad I got them for such a pittance, but I wonder how many of these transitory great deals I miss out on by not scrounging around on Amazon more than I already do.]
