Amazon MP3 Vs. iTunes Music Store

Ali writes "As discussed here recently, amazon.com has launched a public beta of Amazon MP3, a digital music store that provides DRM-free downloads of over 2 million songs from 180,000 artists and 20,000 labels. In comparison, Apple says the iTunes Store now contains over 6 million songs. Here is a head-to-head comparison."

  1. I see hope on the horizon! by HartDev · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I sincerely hope that this store kicks the trash out iTunes. One because I know so many people that got screwed by the iTunes they purchased trying to be good little boys and girls. And Two, cause iTunes is a craptacular interface to add and take songs away from devices. When I had an iPod I used Winamp to manage the music cause it could take songs off as well as put them on, it kinda sucked cause of the ID3 tag mess ups and both Winamp and iTunes adding and taking away from the songs title, artist etc etc. Apple makes some wicked awesome hardware, I just wish they would leave the software up to some one else....
