Amazon MP3 Downloads Store

Recommended Posts

Amazon.com has just activated its MP3 Downloads store.

No DRM, 256 kbs bit rate in MP3 format so downloads will play on any players, great pricing - as in better than iTunes!

Article by John Gruber on the store. (John is a Mac/Apple blogger so his article refers to OS X but rest assured, the store works on Windows as well)

Much as I love Apple and iPods, it's great to see iTunes getting some competition from a company that "gets it".

2,000,000 songs available to start.

Unfortunately, I can't use it as it is for US Residents only at the present time.>:(

Good. I refuse to buy anything from Apple.
