DRM-free MP3 downloads from Amazon. The good: they have what looks like the entire Universal and EMI catalogues in DRM-free 256bit MP3s. The bad: you need a US billing address! So close...

Lots of stuff is US first though. Hopefully it'll do well over there, and then move over here.

Any competition for iTunes is good news, I reckon.

In the meantime, we'll have to be satisfied with Bleep etc.

And unfortunately it requires a proprietary non-cross-platform client to download albums. But it's really great start.

Yeah, the client thing's a bit of a problem. On the other hand, I personally don't care about whole albums, which is why I didn't notice that...

FYI, there doesn't seem to be any validation of the billing address.
