No DRM? No 30 second clip but the whole freakin song?
Wonder how long before iTunes follows. 
Competition is great, aint it?

I have an iPod, which I love, and an account on the iTunes store, because for some dumb reason you can't download cover art without it, but I haven't bought anything from them. I refuse to have anything to do with that DRM crap, especially after the Sony Rootkit fiasco.
Ditch the DRM, and I might actually buy something from iTunes. I've already bought a few mp3s from Amazon, but their selection hasn't been that impressive.
EDIT: Typo.  |

Or Amazon.com. But these idiots post their 30 sec clips in a horrible 64 kb/s bitrate. IIRC, a couple of years ago all their music was being sampled at 128 kb/s. Hopefully, Amazon will allow customers to preview songs in the entirety. |
