On a whim today I went looking for this album Spaced Out – The Best of Leonard Nimoy & William Shatner. Amazon has it in 256 kbps variable bit rate mp3, which is what I usually import CDs in. It’s $8.99 and DRM free.
iTunes also has the album but not in the iTunes Plus DRM free variety. It’s also $11.99. So while I own an iPod and have bought several hundred tracks from the iTunes store in the past, I’m taking the plunge and going with Amazon on this one. Competition is good.
And Amazon has got the customer experience for iTunes users nailed. It’s not any harder than using Applie’s store and it’s cheaper. Go figure!
Sure, Amazon is great, although for me it is a pity that’s not available outside the US. So,no DRM free msic for me 🙁
