Amazon MP3 (beta) Unveiled… Featuring DRM-Free Songs

Amazon.com has launched a beta version of their web-based digital music service called Amazon MP3. It seems cool for a number of reasons…

(1) It’s web-based - so you don’t have to download and install any desktop applications to access the service.

(2) The music is DRM-free.

(3) Variable Album Pricing - the price for full albums start at $5.

(4) Customers have the option of downloading a small application that will automagically save their purchased songs to either iTunes or Windows Media Player.

Because of the lack of DRM… EMI Music and Universal Music Group remain the only major labels participating at this time, along with a number of independent labels. Although 2 million songs are already available for purchase.
