Hi everyone. In this post I hope to help you to decide where you should buy your music online. I will compare the trusty iTunes with Amazon's new MP3 store.
First for some statistics:
Amazon
Songs = £0.59 ($0.79)
Top Albums = Around £3 ($5)
Millions of songs
iTunes
Songs = £0.79
Album = Price depends on album
Millions of songs
It is important to note that you can buy roughly 10 songs on Amazon for the price of 7 on iTunes and both sites have all the music you could possibly want, especially iTunes.
The Amazon MP3 Store is cheaper than iTunes and has the massive bonus of being DRM free. This basically means that you can download songs from Amazon and you can do whatever you like with them. There are no copyright issues. You can put the songs on any MP3 player or phone, even an iPod!
Songs downloaded on iTunes however can only be played on an iPod although Apple has plans to remove the DRM on millions of its songs in the future.
I personally prefer the layout of iTunes to the Amazon Store. iTunes has much better features because the store is linked with the media player so all you music can be bought and stored in the same place.
I conclusion I think I will buy my music from the Amazon MP3 Store from now because it is cheaper and DRM free. I will then transfer it to my iTunes music library and put it on my iPod.
