The Humble Bundle may have gone mobile on Android earlier this year, but that’s proven to be a relatively small jump compared to the organization’s latest expansion. It’s now rolled out its first Humble Music Bundle, a collection of six albums that, as always, you can name your price for. Those include an album of rarities from They Might Be Giants, Jonathan Coulton’s Greatest Hit (Plus 13 Other Songs), an exclusive MC Frontalot collection, Christopher Tin’s Calling All Dawns, and game composer Hitoshi Sakimoto’s Best of the Valkyria Chronicles — plus OK Go’s Twelve Remixes of Four Songs if you pay above the current average price. Naturally, all of the albums are DRM-free and available in both MP3 and FLAC formats, and you’re able to choose what percentage of your payment goes to the artists, charities (Child’s Play and the Electronic Frontier Foundation) and the Humble Bundle organization itself. You can get a taste of what’s in store in the video after the break, or get previews of each album before you buy at the link below.
