I started using amazon.com MP3 downloads several years ago and am a very satisfied customer. I started using them because they did not have the incredibly annoying DRM restrictions on their tracks that Apple insisted upon (and still insists that I pay them extra to “upgrade” previously purchased tracks to DRM-free). I continue to use them because the offer a great many albums (especially classical back catalogues) that are not available on iTunes.
Agree.
Amazon rocks in every way.
I quit using itunes a long time ago and now am wholly on Amazon (for practically everything).
