I've completely dumped iTunes altogether. It is such a bloated program now, and the DRM drove me CRAZY *cough*thankshymn*cough*. My second generation Zune and Amazon MP3 store get along really well now, thanks very much :D

This is definitely good news. I can only assume Amazon is using the same consumer-friendly approach on their Kindle e-bookreader, right?

Oh...I see. Maybe those two departments just haven't synced with each other yet or something?

@chouchou: Yeah, that gosh darn DMR...

I'd like to find a way to ensure that whoever I give money to for music doesn't contribute the RAAI.

@kc2idf: According to some of the songs I've clicked on in, it shows as 256 kbps

Nice!

Anyone who has bought from them know what bitrate they use? I'm not so snobby as to require lossless formats, but I do at least want 160kb/s, preferably more.

I love the Amazon music store. Even better is that it directly downloads to iTunes.

Wooooo! Ever since I switched to Amazon I've been happy about it but I've also been missing some of my favorite artists - this fills the gap a bit.

I'll buy when they start offering lossless formats; screw paying for mp3s.

I adore Amazon's MP3 store, I use it all the time. I'm so sick of proprietary formats/"PlaysForSure but not really." Imagine that -- I get to download the music I buy in MP3 format, play it anywhere I want and it's mine to keep!

I haven't bought music in a long time, but my next buys will be from Amazon if possible. :D

Sony's waiting for Amazon to offer the MP3s with Rootkits before signing up.

I'll never pay for DMR music. Paying for the trouble and incapacity of listening on many devices? Nah.
