Saw this on the Sydney Morning Herald's Facebook page just then.
You get a free music album download from the Universal Music catalogue for the first 10,000 entrants. Code got sent via SMS within seconds.
Promotion expires on 31 December or when 10,000 codes are redeemed, whichever comes first.

It also says one album a week?
Nah, that's only if you subscribe to SMH.
Thanks for this. Good find!
OP, might want to add 'Mobile Number Required' to the title - as the code is texted to you, not sent via email.
Good point, thanks! I've updated the post.
Thanks victorwilson! :D
For once, I get to be a part of the first 10,000 crowd - YAY! :D
Thanks Op. Good find.
Thanks. Grabbed Ministry of Sound Futurism for free, 41tracks yo!! Maximum free-ness. Really pays having a $2 SIM card for junk phone number.

The track beating is on! Now to find some old sims
101 More Housework Songs - why am I happy about this??
Great - thanks OP.
Double album free :-)
Got the SMS OK in Tokyo, even though I have no Telstra credit.
Thanks! Not sure which to pick from: Fall Out Boy, Patrick Stump, New Found Glory, blink-182, etc!
Great … thanks.
Picked up the 40 track album Creedence Collection … old favourite Creedence Clearwater songs from my teens and 20s.
Appreciated the link greatly!
When the promo expires, does our credit expire as well if we haven't used it by then?
Your credit expires a week after you get your code.
"15. Entrants will have 7 days from the date on which they receive the download code to redeem that code for a digital album on the redemption website." Source
But if you redeem it, it won't expire right? As in, I don't have to use the credit now right?
You redeem a voucher to get an album credit. You use an album credit to get music.
Voucher expires in 7 days (see above)
Credit expires in 7 days (https://www.theinsong.com/fairfax/redeem)
Note: If your voucher entitles you to a weekly album, you will receive this credit every 7 days. Credit not used within the 7 days will be lost.
Something went wrong!
We're experiencing some technical issues. Please try again.
darn it. smh (shaking my head)
Thanks OP, got the Ministry Annual 2015 :)

Download links appear to be re-usable , and not require any type of session cookie … strange
e.g. - numbers scrubbed
http://dl.securestore.com.au/fetchNEW.aspx?m=M999999&t=00000…
care to share?
It works, thanks :)
Hmmm error 003? is there a section I'm supposed to change? :S
As in once you "purchase" it, as long as someone has your login and password, it can be downloaded as many times as you want.
Although one of my codes did seem to glitch and allow me register twice, not sure how, but I haven't been able to replicate it.
Maybe we should list the albums we've all gotten, and then exchange login details to download from each other? :Þ
Surprised we haven't started exploiting Apple's Family Sharing along the same lines. We're all one family here, right?

• Best Of—Credence Clearwater Revival
• Black & White Album—The Hives
• Oh No—OK Go
• 30 Years of Funk—Grand Funk Railroad
• The Who Hits 50 (Deluxe)—The Who

Thanks. Got Ministry of Sound The Annual 2015 & Running Trax Summer 2014.
Also downloaded MOS 2015. Then I remembered that the cool kids don't download music anymore. D'oh!
Taylor Swift 1989 downloaded! Happy with this especially after she ripped her whole catalogue off Spotify!
1989 Deluxe edition:
iTunes: I paid $20.99 earlier this month
OzBargain today: Free
Fantastic deal if you hadn't already bought it!
April 1?
Cheers OP - Taylor Swift 1989 downloaded!
Whilst it is a very good deal, I'm not sure if I want my email and mobile phone spammed by random companies, especially if I can most likely download the albums using "other methods". Regardless thanks OP for giving us the link to the T&C. I appreciate that. I'm sure others here will appreciate your post as well.

Only the phone number needs to be valid…
hence why you give them a prepaid number u don't use… ;)
Excuse my stupidity, but where do I go to enter the code? The SMS told me to go the Age website, but I don't seem to be able to find anything useful there.
EDIT:Grammar
Ah! sorry! My phone formatted the SMS with "www.theage.com/" and "redeem" on two seperate lines.
Thanks!
Nokia 5110?
Hahaha, you got the maker right. Nokia Lumia 720 - screen's too small to fit the entire URL on a single line
Hrmm doesn't seem you can redeem from both The Age and SMH… says they sent a code but I didn't get it the second time.
Edit: You CAN claim twice… just received the sms
Isnt it only one code per mobile number?.
Should the code be delivered instantly?
I just signed up and waiting for the code is now + 5mins
I'm still waiting 43 mins later…
got it
Will any of these sites work to receive the sms code?

Tried Twilio free - didn't have Australian numbers available. Just get "Something went wrong" when used U.S. number.
Can anyone recommend a good Christmas album?
Human Nature?
Thanks OP. Grabbed myself Ministry of Sound Maximum Bass Redline & Annual 2015.
You can use the same mobile number for both SMH and The Age.
can you please tell me if the last 5 characters in the email link for The Annual are 6537F
I can't find Redline in store can you link please
What did u type in search to find it I need it for age
Is there a way to download my album without downloading the MusicZ Downloader? I really don't want to install crap on my computer if I don't need to.
it uses java dude you dont download anything but the music to wherever you like.
Are you on a Windows computer?
On my Mac, it makes me download an app. Might try it on a Windows box at home later tonight.
Yeah im on windows 7
Yeah keep scrolling down and it should say single track download. Then you can download them one by one
easier to click musicZ downloader which will open up another tab and using java allow you to download all or some of the album.
Got Ty Segall, Manipulator. Not on Spotify was just about to buy it but found it through this deal. Great stuff OP, thanks for posting.
So I'm trying to download the album using the java download, I select all songs, save it to downloads and when it is done 100% download nothing is there help.
are you sure you actually saved it to downloads? as before i changed mine to my desktop it was going to save it to my music folder automatically so maybe look there.
Yay. I love how the database is searchable. Tested it out and found the Frozen movie sound track available:
https://www.theinsong.com/fairfax/album/00050087299446
Thanks for the websites, 202 songs downloaded for free :)
202 songs? Alright what did you get? BTW found Bob Marley and the wailers Legend Deluxe edition.
101 Number Ones and 101 Voices, the songs are semi this era but includes some old classics back to the 80's and even some Pevlis in there for good measure. They have other ones of the 101 hits also, think they were "party, road trip and country"
101 Ultimate 80's!
Anyone who got the Ministry of Sound Maximum Bass Redline album, did track 59 - Toneshifterz - Wild Wild Weekend download ok?
Nope - having issues with that particular track too. 15 byte file.
Sounds like a warranty claim
Same here
Contacted Universal Music about download failure (always shows 0%) on another album - waiting for response.
They said they tried the track that the Android App failed to download - and it is ok. But still can't download 1 of 22 tracks.
They sent me a link to download track on pc - worked :-)
Update:
E-mailed them and here was their response.
Hi,
Our apologies – it looks like that file was not delivered to us by the record label. I will need to ask for a redelivery, which can take up to a couple of weeks. We will be in touch as soon as we have the file for you.
Kind regards,
Megan

The track is up I just managed to download it.
So what's with the 2 for 1 offer? It says you're eligible if you've redeemed the code. Does this mean you can download 2 albums for free? Bit confusing.
So I don't get this … I redeemed two codes as above last night and entered them both into the SMH site one last night and one this morning - seemed to work. I remember seeing something like '1 album credit' written somewhere last night.
But now after adding the second code and deciding on two albums .. It trys to make me pay for 1. If I select only 1 album it trys to make me pay for it… so 2 for 1 but not free? I can't see the '1 album credit' anywhere any more, I have no purchase history and can't see history showing the voucher codes being redeemed. Hrm
You have to go back to the normal page https://www.theinsong.com/fairfax/. The 2 for 1 page doesn't work for this code.
I've got a problem downloading an album like someone experienced before.
I used the download manager and after I clicked "show files" it's not there.
I also selected move to itunes and I can't find it in itunes.
super_sayam:
Reach out to me when you get a moment. I have some tracks you've been looking for.
can't find ministry of sound 2015 can someone post a link?
Heads up to all the "next-nexters", make sure you DON'T tick the second checkbox.
