Thank you Amazon.com for selling DRM-free mp3 Music Downloads! May 15, 2008

Posted by Major in : MP3 music downloads , trackback

In the past I have bought songs from musicmatch jukebox, yahoo, walmart, and iTunes. All of these songs had restrictions on which computers I could play them on or what I could do with the music. This was because of the Digital Rights Management or “DRM” which is the software that is designed to control or limit how a file can be played, copied, downloaded, shared, or accessed.

Now AmazonMP3 is offering DRM-free music. DRM-free means that the MP3 files you purchase from Amazon.com do not contain any software that will restrict your use of the file. I love the fact that I can save a copy of my music to a backup cd or dvd and not worry about having to back up the license that gives me the right to listen to the songs. In a few years when I buy a new laptop, I can just copy the songs to the new computer and they will play without any problems. No worries about having to transfer the license. These amazon MP3 files can be played in iTunes or windows media player. They are also compatible with all the portable mp3 players on the market.

Bravo Amazon for making music user friendly again.

The above player will play a sample of some of the songs that I have downloaded from Amazon.com.
