Amazon the book store has finally entered the MP3 market in the UK. This is great for people unwilling or unable to use Apple’s iTunes such as myself. I’m unable to use it as I choose to use Ubuntu and Apple chooses not to built iTunes for Linux however Amazon are leading the way and supporting all major operating systems out of the box (too bad there is no native 64 bit installer…. luckily the 32 bit one works fine if you know how! ).

The prices are cheaper than iTunes and there is no DRM anywhere in sight. This a good thing. As soon as some money comes my way I plan to use the Amazon MP3 download service until the cows come home and I suggest you all do the same! CDs are dead, long live the MP3 (technically MP3′s are old and should be replaced too but that is for another blog post!)
