Amazon bringing MP3 store to UK
Picking up on a report in the Telegraph a few days ago (sorry!), it seems Amazon are making preparations to launch their Amazon MP3 Store in the UK, after previously launching in the US to generally favourable reviews.
In the States, the Amazon store competes head-to-head with iTunes and others and received plaudits for its competitive pricing and DRM-free library - at a time when iTunes was just dipping its feet into DRM-free (but to my memory, after Steve Jobs’ infamous open letter to the music industry).
According to the report, which is a little speculative and should really be taken with a pinch of salt, we may see the Amazon MP3 Store by the end of the year. It will be interesting to see how iTunes stacks up against one of the first genuine competitors to enter the market in some time.
