Move over iTunes, <A href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070516/bs_nm/amazon_music_dc_4;_ylt=AjyotpihPCJzvjIpejNV9xIE1vAI" title="Amazon store to sell music free of copy protection - Yahoo! News">Amazon announced on Wednesday that it is launching a music store to offer DRM-free music from EMI</A> before the end of the year. Apple announced a similar deal with EMI, the first major label to embrace DRM-free music. Yet while Apple anounced plans to sell 256 kbps AAC files, Amazon announced plans to sell tracks in the (decidedly) more popular MP3 format. </P></DIV>

				<DIV class="entry-more"><P>Yet neither EMI nor Amazon announced details on pricing or what bit rates the tracks will be encoded at, leaving it simply at "high quality." This leads me to believe one of two things. Either Bezos and company haven't figured out pricing and encoding yet, which seems unlikely, or they aren't going to beat what Apple's offering. Either way, it's great to see another music etailor getting on board.</P></DIV></DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/8423CAF9-DB3C-45EC-91DC-CBE6DCE41F48/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
