Amazon launches AmazonMP3 music downloads store... at last! - Tech Digest
Phew. After several months worth of speculation, Amazon has finally cut the ribbon (or whatever the online equivalent is) on its music downloads store. It's called AmazonMP3, it's US-only for the moment, and it's offering over two million DRM-free MP3 files for 89 or 99 cents apiece, with albums priced between $5.99 and $9.99. Amazon has signed up two major labels for the store - EMI and Universal Music Group - plus thousands of indie labels. The songs are 256Kbps files, and will work on iPods, Zunes, mobile phones, PSPs and any other device you care to name.
