Discs For Dogs

Only 2 of the same CD Accepted! No matter what’s on the disc, it’s sold for a dollar or less from a “Used and Abused” bin in a western New York CD store. The pet-friendly philanthropists will reimburse donors for shipping costs for all CD contributions, then pass all proceeds on to the local chapter of the ASPCA.  

Phone: 716-447-9786

Housing Works 

If you’ve already burned your entire music collection onto an MP3 player the size of a thumbtack, clear your shelves by handing off the used CDs (but no cassettes, ’80s children) to one of NYC's prominent charity stores. It funds HIV/AIDS assistance programs with the proceeds from its 50 boutiques and program spots throughout the five boroughs.

126 Crosby St between E Houston and Prince Sts

GIFTING ~ ITUNES/AMAZON

IMPORTANT TO NOTE  Gifting mp3 downloads to Charities is not an option. Hard copies of Adam's CDs can be donated to charities from Amazon or Adam Official.

HOW

• Open an iTunes Account - You may have more than one iTunes account per computer. Each account needs a different email address. You may use the same credit card.
  
  
• Definition of Sale? Sale = Any Download That Is Charged To Your Credit Card or Pay Pal.
  
  
• In the USA, to count as a sale, you can only download a single once per iTunes account. If you try to download again, you will receive a message that you have already downloaded that song. They are happy to download that song for you again for Free, but guess what? Free does not = sale!!! So, what to do? You want to download songs and iTunes won't let you! Dang!
  
  
• Gifting! Yes, now you start Gifting to folks who....
  
         * Have an iTunes account in the same country you live in.
         * Are aware that they are receiving a download from you, and will
            download the Gift within a day or two.
  
  
• How many times can you Gift? As many times as possible, to as many people as possible....Consult your bank account and budget!
  
  
• To Gift, go to iTunes and find Adam's singles. Right next to "Buy" is a downward arrow. This is a drop-down menu. Pull the menu down and click on Gift. Follow iTunes directions from there.
  
  

• You may want to have Gifting partners from friends in the real world or from Twitter. Gifting Buddies!
  
  

The above information applies to the USA. Each country has it's own rules! Some countries may still allow you to download endlessly from your own computer. Experiment!

                                GIFTING MP3's FROM AO

There is a way to gift music from AO. This works better and it is easier than iTunes because you can donate to anyone around the world whereas with iTunes you can only gift within your own country.

Purchase the song/CD as normal. Stop when you get to the point where there is a gray button that says download. Look up to the address in your browser and copy and paste into an email. Email link anywhere in the world. Link is valid until someone hits that gray download button.

Tip: I have found with AO MP3 downloads it works best to click on the manual download link rather than the gray download button. The manual download link is on the same page as the gray download button. It is buried in the text of instructions. You probably won't even know it's a link until you hover your cursor over the text.

This method has worked well for me. I have done this numerous times. Contact me if you wish to experiment before you try it. Also, there is no way for the person receiving the gift to see your contact or billing information.
