Amazon launches sale of DRM-free MP3s

Daring Fireball: The Amazon MP3 Store and Amazon MP3 Downloader
I'm with Gruber -- this is a welcome and fan-friendly addition to the marketplace. And, frankly, I'm glad there's finally somebody out there who can really give Apple some competition in this area. One thing: I'm surprised that MP3 sales links aren't yet mixed into regular CD sales pages. That must certainly be high on their TODO list. Because Amazon's Google juice is strong as hell, and on the day they put "Buy This Track Now" onto a few dozen thousand PR5+ music pages? Well. That may be the day Apple gets to really see what competition in this space looks like. 19 Comments

 Global music agreements... if only.Submitted by dpmoran on September 26, 2007 - 5:57pm.
It took Apple years to get the agreements into place for the iTunes store in other countries and I can't imagine Amazon will be able to fast track this process. Global music agreements what a wonderful world that would be. We are still waiting for Movies, TV shows and music clips on the iTunes store here in Australia. Hey do think that is the next step for Amazon, TV shows and movies? NBC perhaps? » POSTED IN:
