iTunes store or Amazon?

I must admit that I love the Apple iTunes store. The ease of use and incredible library makes it hard not to like. But of course there are alternatives, and the best “other” store I have used is the Amazon MP3 store.

It used to be the less expensive option, but with the recent price increases, the Amazon MP3 store has raised it’s prices of new tracks to match Apple’s $1.29 price point.

The only reason I’d recommend the Amazon store over Apple, is for the great deals that they come out with on a daily basis. I purchased the “Who’s Next” album by the Who for $1.99 last month, and of course it was DRM free. Apple iTunes current price is $11.99.

Amazon.com offers 770 MP3 song downloads for free in its Amazon MP3 Store. Choose songs from artists such as Flight of the Conchords, Iron & Wine, Fleet Foxes, Neko Case, Beirut, The Aggrolites, and more. Amazon MP3 Downloader is required.
