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.

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.

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.

  • If you can't afford to purchase a download, there are many who are more than happy to Gift you a copy. You will need to have an email address and an iTunes account.

  • 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!

You can also leave questions and comments at the Bottom of this page.

Happy Buying, Gifting, and Receiving!

                                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.

Linda, wish I live in the West Coast, I'll join your party in a heart beat. I know exactly what you mean about our flailing, I definitely need to be with my Glamily in Toronto after the album's out :)

Comment by Linda on September 3, 2011 at 11:01pm

I need to get Album 2 on time because we are organizing a release party in Seattle for the Saturday after it comes out.  We want to be with people who will flail with us, not get tired of the music and hearing, "OMG, that's so awesome!" all night. You can contact me if you want to join us.  I'm on twitter as @vestarose or you can contact @RocketJava who is working on me with this.

Comment by Linda on September 3, 2011 at 10:47pm

I've always received everything right away from AO, that is, the day it's released it arrives. But if others have not, maybe I'll go with amazon.  And I do use amazon to ship directly to others.  I live on an island; I get EVERYTHING from amazon, even shoes, LOL.

Comment by RadarEcho on September 3, 2011 at 10:18pm

Good points.  AO shipping is so high.  And they are usually slower than others. And sometimes difficult on AO to send to 3rd party.   Maybe they will have that fixed now?  And I like Amazon but they sometimes put limits on how many you can buy. I am thinking about doing a lot of my gifting that first week instead of what I did this time, which was spread it out over the year.

Comment by Linda on September 3, 2011 at 10:12pm

My first choice would be to buy the album from AO.  Why pay a profit to Walmart, Amazon, iTunes?  Let it go to Adam, if it works that way.  Then I'd pick amazon or iTunes because at least it would be credited properly.  And amazon lets you pre-order, which is nice. 

Comment by RadarEcho on September 3, 2011 at 9:55pm

Someone said Walmart didn't always credit the sales right - have you heard of that?

Comment by milkywayfairy on September 3, 2011 at 9:22pm

I'm in Canada, since they only count first week sales in US, I'll definitely be buying from US Amazon.com and sending them to US locations, all these places for donating CDs are just perfect. Thanks so much :) . With the experience we had from the 1st album, we're so much more organized this time, thanks to Adam Storm for an Awesome job, I'm so excited :)

Comment by Linda on August 22, 2011 at 1:26pm

I agree! Last time many of the fans (200,000) pre-ordered the album, so all those sales numbers came in the first week of release and put it third on Billboard.  That was great publicity, and got it a lot of attention.  That's the best time to get us all together, since most of us want it ASAP anyway.  So everyone who can should pre-order or buy it immediately.  That's a good idea about donating.  I donated some FYE albums, but not until later.  I'll try to do it at the same time.

Comment by Lindajean139 on August 21, 2011 at 7:56pm

Hi RadarEcho.......that first week of sales is what Adam will be measured by. How he charts that week is what he'll be remembered by.

Comment by RadarEcho on August 21, 2011 at 10:45am

And his tour depends on where the CD sells - so how do I make sure my location gets the credit?  I want to see him here!  :-)

Comment by RadarEcho on August 21, 2011 at 10:44am

Hi - love this site.  I have a question for gifters - If you are planning to donate a certain number this year, for example, is it better to buy a bunch of CDs when the album first comes out or buy CDs every week for some period of time?  Which helps Adam's numbers the best ? And does it matter where you buy from?

Comment by Lindajean139 on August 16, 2011 at 7:38pm

Hi Debbie. I an't wait for the next generation CD!! So many worthy causes to donate to!

Comment by debbielynn on August 16, 2011 at 11:55am

Lindajean this is looking awesome

So very soon now we'll be running full speed ahead...I can hardly wait

Comment by Lindajean139 on July 25, 2011 at 3:19pm

Hi Deb & Dylangirl,

 

Hopefully we can hit the ground running. This 2nd generation CD is so very important to get good sales. Thinking very selfishly for a minute here: but without out good sales he won't tour or he'll be an opening act.

Comment by Deb Brown on July 24, 2011 at 10:06pm

I love this site already, so organized and dedicated to promoting Adam's music. I will do everything I can. Thank you for creating this site.

Comment by dylangirl on July 24, 2011 at 6:45pm

This is great, so organized. As you say @barbls....will be all set up and ready to go before Adam comes out with that second album. You guys are great...this is truly the way to get things done!! I love the down to business attitude. Thank you all so much. We can and will make a difference.

Comment by Lindajean139 on July 24, 2011 at 11:31am

@Oshi  Thanks!

Comment by debbielynn on July 23, 2011 at 8:03am

This looks great @Lindajean

There are so many wonderful worthy causes here to donate to

I love how you've highlighted the new one added

Comment by Barbls on July 22, 2011 at 10:32pm
