I like the concept, I like the prices, and I've always liked the website.. but they don't have a lot of obscure and semi-obscure songs I tried searching for.

well main thing is that it beats itunes because i'd rather have mp3 format over aac. just more universal.

Tried it, works fine for me. The one song I DL'ed was 215-240Kbs so it looked like
some sort of VBR. 9Mb file for a 5 min. song. Sound was good, noticeably better
than a 128K Acc file..

Wow this really is easy to use. I found a song I wanted, clicked buy, logged in, and right after that it gave me a download link. I'm going to be buying a whole lot more music

seems the music companies might be using amazon to weaken apples hold on prices?
only reason behind the 89cents since they fought tooth and nail against apple for 1buck.
seems amazon has different prices for different songs..
my guess is if the music industry really did weaken apple they'd jack those prices up

Oh no, you Apple-philes pushed Feist's "1234" up to the top! Oh noes!
Here comes the collapse of the Microsoft Empire!
