No DRM?

No DRM? No 30 second clip but the whole freakin song?

Wonder how long before iTunes follows.
Competition is great, aint it?

I hope they do. 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.

Re: No DRM?

While I don't know about having to have a iTunes account to download cover art, I've found wikipedia and allmusic.com to be a valuable resource in finding album artwork to attach to songs.

Carlsbad, NM		 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.

David, remember this is APPLE, they're so great they don't have to compete the normal way. they just slap an "i" on things to get people to buy.
