Review of Amazon's DRM-Less Music Download Store

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the gosh-you-mean-if-i-buy-it-i-can-keep-it dept.

fdmendez writes to tell us that he had a chance to check out Amazon's DRM-less music download store that was recently released as a beta trial. "Amazon one-ups the iTunes store in every way except for popularity. Never once did I find an album to be more expensive on the Amazon store in comparison to the iTunes store. The download experience was pleasant, and the lack of DRM truly makes it YOUR music. I don't know of any other download service that could top the Amazon MP3 store."

    I just jumped over and bought a couple songs. Very nice.

    It's hard to believe that's how Micronians are made. Why don't we see it right now by having you both kiss one another?
  2. Size matters? by ThirdPrize · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Is a 256kb mp3 twice the size of a 128kb mp3? If it is then isn't this just a scam to make us buy bigger iPods/Zunes/Zens/etc? Make the files twice the size (with no real difference in sound) and suddenly you can only fit half as much music on there.
