Cheaper MP3 music now available on Amazon

Amazon is now offering music over the internet ala iTunes. Their music offering is pretty compelling. Here are the high points:

- The songs are offered free of DRM.

- The cost is cheaper than iTunes. They charge between $0.89 - $0.99 per song and $5.99 - $9.99 per album. There prices are cheaper than iTunes songs that are restricted by DRM.

- The songs are offered at 256 kbps, the same as the DRM-free songs on iTunes.

- Because the songs are free from DRM, they can be played on any type of music player or other device that can play MP3s: iPods, Zunes, Blackberries, etc.

If you manage your music in iTunes, it's slightly more complicated to make use of the Amazon MP3 service since you need to download outside of iTunes and then bring the songs in. But it's really not too much trouble considering that the songs you get are higher quality than the DRM-restricted songs on iTunes and often they are cheaper too.

Good!
I like DRM free music. Why it is still limit to use after I purchased it?
And you can free download music from youtube and limewire which are always DRM free.
Also for those DRM files, I found Daniusoft WMA MP3 Converter could remove DRM in a good quality. So that you can enjoy the files as you want.
