]]> <![CDATA[Amazon MP3 Store Now Linux-Friendly]]> will there ever be a worldwide mp3 store?

not if the labels still have control.

]]> <![CDATA[Amazon MP3 Store Now Linux-Friendly]]> But they're still losing to iTunes in sales. Walmart is #1 followed by iTunes.

]]> <![CDATA[Amazon MP3 Store Now Linux-Friendly]]> well actually if you keep reading they only support 2 forms of linux installers, rpm and deb. what would be really cool is if they made a generic installer for any kind of linux distro. oh and not be so hung up on windows media player for windows, whats wrong with real player?

]]> <![CDATA[Amazon MP3 Store Now Linux-Friendly]]> @BookbagNinja: try emusic...

amazon already worked on linux but you could only get single tracks, you couldn't get a whole album as one purchase. of course most people just buy single tracks. however, certain songs aren't available for individual download and sometimes a whole album is nice.

go amazon! now if only they'd stop being assholes with their stupid software patents they'd be my favorite.

]]> <![CDATA[Amazon MP3 Store Now Linux-Friendly]]> do people buy music??

LOL - hooray amazon, show them how it's done!

]]> <![CDATA[Amazon MP3 Store Now Linux-Friendly]]> @mmplisskin: It's better for having a completely free DRM library, but all in all, I find the Amazon store experience decidedly inferior to iTunes'.

Oooh, you used italics, you win!

]]> <![CDATA[Amazon MP3 Store Now Linux-Friendly]]> yahoooo! all they have to do now is offer music from other countries other than the USA and I'm set. I've already used it before, but I'm a greedy netizen, I want stuff from Japan, Spain, France, England, etc etc... to the briny deep with import fees!!

BookbagNinja

]]> <![CDATA[Amazon MP3 Store Now Linux-Friendly]]> Ohh yeah!! Now if they could only find a way to offer a worldwide catalogue instead of the same junky songs made in the USA that I normally tune out, and I would be in heaven.

i believe it may be a tax/tarrif thing.

]]> <![CDATA[Amazon MP3 Store Now Linux-Friendly]]> Why can I live in Ireland (or any other country which is not the US) and buy CDs and DVDs from Amazon US but I can't buy MP3 tracks or buy from Unbox?

Apple might like to answer why iTunes is no better for this sort of thing!

yeah but i believe he was talking about actual people.

]]> <![CDATA[Amazon MP3 Store Now Linux-Friendly]]> Unbuntu = Ubuntu... and I guess they should add some support for Gentoo? Since it has quite a userbase (but they are very hardcore users, they'll think of something for sure :P)

]]> <![CDATA[Amazon MP3 Store Now Linux-Friendly]]> Canadians. They're still locked out.

]]> <![CDATA[Amazon MP3 Store Now Linux-Friendly]]> The Amazon Store is DRM Free and way better than itunes!

mmplisskin

]]> <![CDATA[Amazon MP3 Store Now Linux-Friendly]]> why is downloading a friggin' mp3 a platform-specific operation in the first place?

it's more like "Amazon MP3 Store gets less convoluted, makes jump into 20th century"

that's 20th - on purpose.

nutbastard

]]> <![CDATA[Amazon MP3 Store Now Linux-Friendly]]> It's about time...I know a few people who have really been turned off from Amazon's music store just for this reason. Nice to see the SUSE and Unbuntu heads getting some love.

]]> <![CDATA[Amazon MP3 Store Now Linux-Friendly]]> You go amazon. Now just fix your damn store interface. Pretty please.

Kaiser-Machead's Chips Ahoy!

]]> <![CDATA[Amazon MP3 Store Now Linux-Friendly]]> I like AmazonMP3. I use to buy my songs from iTunes and I still prefer their encoding over mp3 encoding.

But Amazon makes it easy to buy non-DRM from them and it automatically imports into my iTunes folder. Plus the price is right.
