Between your favorite streaming apps, instrument retailers and electronics stores, it can be hard to know where you'll find the best music deals. We've compiled a list to make sure you've got the best coupons before you buy.

Where to Look for CDs and Music Download Deals

Leading retailers like Apple iTunes and Google Play offer great digital music deals on newly released albums. iTunes has a curated list of all its available downloadable songs for $0.99 and it also offers a three-month trial of its Apple Music subscription for free. Amazon also offers a free, 30-day trial of its unlimited subscription of music, in addition to its massive selection of music in CD and vinyl form.

Finding Musical Instrument Sales and Deals

If you're interested in creating your own music, look to Guitar Center, which often offers musical instrument deals, such as coupons for 10% off single items or up to 70% off clearance products. This nationwide chain has retail stores in almost every state and you can find deals and offers on new, used and vintage equipment. Sam Ash is another musical instrument retailer to consider for money-saving offers. It stocks everything from DJ equipment to violins. This merchant also offers a musical instrument discount of $20 off just for signing up for its email list.

When to Look for Music and Accessories Deals

Whether you're shopping for new music, instruments or accessories, you can generally find the best music deals near the end of the year.

Black Friday

Check out Best Buy for its annual Black Friday sale. You'll find awesome musical instruments deals on everything from keyboards and guitars to microphones, as well as accessories like headphones and speakers. Another great shopping choice is Target, where you can pick up an array of Black Friday deals on instruments that may include harmonicas or drums. You can preview its sales online and apply for a REDcard to start shopping and saving.

Holidays

Every store preps for the holidays with loads of sales so your gift giving doesn't have to be financially stressful. Look out for low prices and more coupons in the weeks leading up Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. Instrument and equipment retailer Musician's Friend runs seasonal deals, such as past Fall Forward coupon codes for up to 15% off orders. Walmart is a popular holiday-shopping store that also offers huge savings during this time. This is the place to stop if CDs and small music-related electronics are on your gift list.
