Amazon MP3

Amazon.com has recently started a download music store similar to iTunes. They’ll have somewhat of a challenge competing with iTunes, but I think with the way they are currently set up, the will have no problem. The Apple Blog has a walkthrough on what you need to do to download and get the music on your iPod.

Overall the Amazon MP3 experience was really just about flawless. Amazon’s foray in to this market has changed things for me a bit in regards to where I’ll buy music from. I’ll now be sure to check Amazon.com first for MP3s before I purchase them from iTunes. You might want to do the same. There’s a good chance you’ll find the album for cheaper that will be DRM-free and higher quality audio.

Honesty my only complaint is in regards to the comment I made earlier about Amazon creating a second copy of the music in its own directory, but that’s a non-issue when some albums are half the price they are on iTunes.

I think I’ll be looking on Amazon first before iTunes.
