Is Amazon's iTunes Killer growing up to be a big boy?
Considering that it hasn't even been three months since Amazon's digital music store opened shop, that's pretty damn good. With Pepsi joining Amazon to give away free MP3s, word of Amazon's new DRM-free store will only spread. Silicon Valley Insider suggests Amazon must be reaching a mainstream audience if Fergie is a top seller at both Amazon and iTunes.
While many find switching download services a hassle, we would strongly recommend taking Amazon's MP3 Download store for a test drive. The Amazon software can be configured to automatically add any music you buy to iTunes, and, best of all, the music comes DRM-free in a relatively high quality MP3 format, allowing Amazon's customers to do whatever they want with their music. Besides, DRM sucks and shouldn't be supported. Isn't that reason enough?

Funny, I just tried their service last night. I don't quite understand why I had to download a specific program for downloading (is it a bittorrent client, perhaps?), but it worked great.

...compared to iTunes where you can't even browse the catalog without downloading a specific program?

The bad news is that it is not available in Canada. I don't understand why I can purchase from the iTunes store from Canada but not Amazon. And they have Amazon.ca - although to say it sucks would be too kind.
