Amazon MP3 Downloads Should Give iTunes a Run for Their Money (Finally)

Now here's a company that could actually give Apple and the iTunes store a run for it's money. Amazon.com is now offering mp3 downloads, and they're high-quality, no DRM versions of the tunes, often at lower prices than you can buy them at the iTunes store. The top 100 songs are always 89 cents.

Go check it out: Amazon.com mp3 Store.

I should probably note that I'm a big fan of the iTunes store, and love how it works, and I'm such an Apple booster that I'm invested in the company and won't buy a computer without that fruit on it and a bite taken out. But I will buy songs from Amazon.com if they are cheaper and better quality, and I will bet you that the songs (and the software Amazon.com supplies to get your mp3 downloads on) will run slickly on my mac and on your mac and on your pc and on your iPod and any other thingamabob you might play music on.

If I purchase and play and find any different, I'll let you know. Because I'm that sort of guy. Letting you know.

Hm. What should I try first?
