It is a bargain for many of us, because many of us buy A LOT of tracks regardless of if they are on sale or not. It has nothing to do with psychology, but more so with economics.
I will be saving a significant amount of money on stuff that i was waiting for to drop off in price. It isn't that they were too expensive, but more because i thought that i would not use them right away so saving money was worthwhile.
I think it is cool that they do this, and hope that they do something similar for Christmas.
How do you apply the $3 discount on AmazonMP3 for an album?
The only option I get on the order page is "Buy Now with one click" and no "add to cart".
So how do I apply the discount? One-click is turned off on my settings.

And many of you will buy much more releases than they would. It all has to do with consumer psychology since humans can become really bad and biased economists (and have nothing to do with economic science). there is lots of literature out there for human economic decision making demonstrating the countless biases and errors one can fall for...and ofcourse this literature informs all those "merchants", managers, commercials etc.
But if you are extremely focused, able to buy only the ones you really wanted/need thats cool. But it rarely happens IMO.

No shit. It's a pretty simple principle: there are things I probably wouldn't pay full price for but would take on the cheap. Although I only bought about five tracks in the last sale and two in this one, because most of the stuff I want on the cheap isn't actually on the fucking cheap at all.

Actually, I've been putting a lot of stuff that I've wanted into my hold bin lately, waiting for them to do this. I bought $20 worth of tracks. Normally that would have cost me $30. I saved myself $10.
