Amazon launches mp3 download service
Amazon has announced that it is going up against iTunes and Real by launching Amazon MP3, a music download service that doesn’t use digital rights management.
Unlike iTunes and most other MP3 sites, Amazon MP3 allows you to move your tracks from PC to MP3 player and onto another PC. As often as you want.
There are 180,000 artists on the site, which Amazon claims means that over 2 million tracks are available to download for less than a dollar.
“This new digital music service has already been through an extensive private beta (test), and today we’re excited to offer it to our customers as a fully functional public beta,” said Bill Carr, Amazon.com vice president for digital music.
