UK users, grab your DRM-free audio tracks from Amazon UK

December 3, 2008 in | Permalink

Like many users, we were big fans of iTunes and the whole iPod experience. However, in recent years we've somewhat stopped purchasing music online, mainly as the DRM experience left us feeling cold. If you own more than a couple of computers, you want your music available on all. Ditch an old drive or simply upgrade your computer and it's way too easy to forget to deauthorise an existing edition of iTunes. Result? You quickly lose your 5-PC entitlement for downloaded digital audio tracks.

When Amazon launched their US-only audio download store, they launched it as a DRM-free product, which means you can do whatever you want with your purchased audio tracks (by 'anything', we mean you can store them on any device or any computer, as long as you keep them to yourself), in the same way you have complete control over your purchased CDs.

Now Amazon UK have launched their DRM-free audio store, which are recorded at a high 256Kbps, supplied as an industry standard MP3 file and they claim they have a million tracks. For example, the latest Take That album "The Circus" was £3 for the entire album, the last time we checked.
