The Amazon MP3 Store has opened in the UK and it is a bargain compared to iTunes!
Popular and new albums are ONLY £3.00, they are at least £7.99 on iTunes.
I bought the new Take That album - The Circus on iTunes on Monday for £8.99, on Amazon it is £3.00.

Plus the Amazon tracks are DRM free, VBR encoded (at a higher rate than iTunes).
They come with Album Art and all MP3 tags.
You get a piece of software that even loads them directly into iTunes and the downloads are quick.

I think it is going to be good-bye iTunes from now on and HELLO Amazon!

With Amazon's selection and prices I don't know why anyone would even look at iTMS.
