Amazon vs. iTunes
Amazon’s mp3 store is up and running. ARS Technica has a quick look at what you can expect.
Amazon’s 256kbps tracks are $0.89 or $0.99 each, which compares quite well with Wal-Mart’s $0.94 per track price for music at the same bit rate. iTunes continues to sell 256kbps AAC files without DRM for $1.29, but this is only available with EMI tracks at the moment.
