Amazon vs iTunes

This post was last updated on March 4, 2026

Added March 4, 2026:  I lost my CDs at some point in the last (almost) two decades. iTunes is now called Apple Music. Amazingly that link to Amazon Music still works. Added for good measure, a link to Spaced Out on Spotify.

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.
