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

 Watermarking may be causing a problemSubmitted by fredramsey on September 27, 2007 - 10:24am.
I bought one track from Amazon when it went on-line. Neither iTunes nor Windows Media Player (both on XP) will play it properly. At mostly regular intervals, the sound cuts out. Out of over 45 gig of music, only this track is having this problem. They have let me download it twice, but no dice. Could it be their watermarking system? Anyone else having any problems? http://techadox.com » POSTED IN:
