iTunes watch out: Amazon is coming to get you! MP3's with no DRM!

William Henning - Wednesday, September 26th, 2007 | 2:36PM (PST)

iTunes will be getting a run for its money...

Competition is a good thing; and I am quite happy to see Amazon launch the beta of its DRM-free MP3 store.

Songs go from $0.89, albums can be <$1 to >$9; and did I mention no DRM?

This is really going to hurt CD sales; at $8.99 without DRM for Top 100 albums, a lot of people are going to buy the 256kbps MP3 albums and burn their own CD's - not to mention load up their iPod's etc.

Well done, Amazon.
