Amazon.com is the latest challenger to Apple's iTunes store, announcing that it has started its "Amazon MP3" service that sells songs and albums for less than iTunes... and without digital rights management (DRM) restrictions.
That means that the songs you download from Amazon can be copied and played on any music player, and copied as many times to as many devices as you want.
Single songs will sell for 89 cents and up; albums range from $5.99 to $8.99. On iTunes songs sell for 99 cents, with albums going for $9.99 and up. You can buy DRM-free songs from iTunes, but it'll cost you $1.29.
Amazon MP3 doesn't have nearly as large a selection as the iTunes store, however. Of the music mega-giants, Sony BMG and Warner Music are not offering any titles on Amazon's store; Universal and EMI are offering only certain titles.
The home page of Amazon MP3 lists the top-selling songs and albums, giving you an idea of the digital downloads that are available.
With its extensive market reach and marketing power, Amazon MP3 may become a true competitor for the iTunes Store.
