Hallelujah!!!

This is just awesome. Legal music purchasing that works with all my devices. I love AAC as much as the next guy but you can't beat MP3 for portability to different devices

I beg people to support this service. If this takes off, there will be serious ammo to push Warner and Sony into making their artists available as well.

Wow, I just saw this. This is great. I'm gonna go purchase some music now...

Yep, I'm pretty sure Steve Jobs spilled some of that Starbucks coffee on his lap when he read about this going up. Amazon selling DRM-free albums/songs cheaper than iTunes (let alone iTunes plus)? Sign me up! I'm personally impressed by the catalog of music they have up there already, it far exceeded my expectations.

I bought a track last night with no problems (other than my 1/2 hour download at dial-up speeds

)

It shows up as 256 VBR and plays fine on my computer (haven't tried it on my H140 rig yet with headphones). It even has a high res album art.

what an interesting find. 256 VBR with no funny stuff is quite a good deal...though buying a used CD is still cheaper.

I think this is great. Now I have another source for music besides Emusic. I just DL an album and it's importing the songs directly into iTunes for me.

Apple is going to have a huge hit because of this. Apple already knew that DRM free, high bit rate music is the way to go but they're just damn too slow on working out with the record companies over that obvious matter.

This is amazing. I'm not sure that it's going to get me to kill off my Zune pass subscription, but if I ever end up buying music online in the future, Amazon is where I'll go.

Huge kudos to them!

i got Animals for $7.71. downloads start instantly once you have their downloader, and they are fairly fast, and the quality is good. and no DRM! YAY! their MP3 business model essentially kills any chance that i would shop elsewhere for my digital music. if they don't have a decent CD offer, then this MP3 is really great and more expedient than snail mail.
