Yeah we said it. It needed to be said. iTunes, you've finally met your match. All of the iTunes competitors to this point have been extremely flawed in one way or another but one company that understands consumers as well, if not better, than Apple is doing it right. As Apple fans, we hope this rattles more than just a little bit the cage that is the iTunes music store. In fact, until things change at Apple, we are onto Amazon.
Amazon Music Store specs:
say it with us.."DRM FREE, DRM FREE, DRM FREE" (Yes we are aware of EMI $1.29 AACswhich brings us to)
~256k VARIABLE bitrate MP3s. The only format that works in every player out there. It will also work in players we buy 5 years from now when Apple is in lock- down hell and Nokia or Samsun
