Amazon MP3

I’ve been pretty good in iTunes lately on “New Music Tuesdays”… refraining from clicking the all to easy to use “BUY ALBUM” button. Last night I noticed that Amazon has begun to sell DRM free MP3 files on AmazonMP3 . My first instinct was to dismiss it as another one of those “iTunes killers” that wind up extinct in no time at all, but then I noticed that it actually worked with Mac and iTunes/iPod. This was something new. First thing this morning, I search around the store a bit. There is a decent selection of music, nowhere near what iTunes has, but still not bad. I found a Marc Broussard CD I didn’t have for $4.52, and I’m a sucker for live music. I downloaded the AmazonMP3 Downloader which was pretty simple, clicked “Buy MP3 Album” and in no time, I’m listening in iTunes. Sweet. AmazonMP3 is priced right, DRM-free, and is very easy to use.
