Amazon's mp3 Store

I wanted to put this out there for my fellow music lovers. If you've bought music online or through the iTunes store, I think you'll love the Amazon mp3 Store. Here's why:
  1. No DRM (Digital Rights Managment) restrictions - this means you can play the songs on any computer or mp3 player and burn them to disc with ease. Genius.
  2. Cost - Amazon sells their music for less than most other services. Most tracks cost $0.79 to $0.99 each, but when you find a special offer or buy an entire album, they are ridiculously cheap. Eighteen Ella gems for $2? I'm listening to them right now, and I'm feeling guilty for not paying more.
  3. 256 kbps - The Amazon tracks are of great quality (vs iTunes at 128kbps)
  4. Massive library (and growing daily) - if you can't find it on Amazon, you probably don't need it.
  5. Preview music - listen to a portion of a song before you buy it.
  6. Easy to set up and download - Just download the Amazon mp3 Downloader and get started. Click on the "Getting Started" link on the store's home page for more information.
  7. Ella goes to college - By clicking to the Amazon store through our blog, we make money. Nothing significant ... a few pennies per song. So I guess Ella can go to a community college. For a year. Part-time. Thanks!
