Agreed. The quality is better. There is no DRM. The prices are comparable (and often much better with these deals). Amazon is superior to iTunes in pretty much every way.

The record companies could be cutting Amazon a deal, too. It's no secret that the recording industry dislikes having Apple as the single dominant leader in the downloads market, since that gives Apple a lot of clout to fight back against price increases.

I tried downloading a few songs off Amazon today and it kept canceling my order saying that I wasn't providing a valid method of payment. I really couldn't figure out why but I assumed it was because I moved recently (although I had changed the address of my credit card with the bank over a week ago). Anyways, I just noticed I received an email from Amazon saying it was a problem on their end and I was given a $5 GC "as an apology." That's mighty cool of them.

Here's another bargain mp3 download at Rhapsody. Looks like they are trying to offer some cheap downloads to compete with Amazon. Like Amazon they are DRM free and recorded at 256 kbps.
Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses $2.99

BTW: I've been loving the deals they've had over the last few months! If any of you other vendors are listening (*cough* Apple *cough*), I will only buy DRM-free music, and I will do so happily when it's available at a reasonable price.

10/7 (Tuesday): Greatest Hits, Vol. 3 by Tim McGraw - $2.99
Another brand new release on the cheap.
Personally, I think McGraw and his label should suck it up and put together a nice 2 disc collection a la the George Strait, Garth Brooks and Toby Keith sets instead of releasing individual Greatest Hits albums within 2 years of each other. But that's just me.

Don't know if there should be a new thread for Rhapsody deals. I thought I would continue to post them here since everyone in this thread is interested in bargain MP3 downloads, and they offer fewer bargains compared to Amazon to make a new thread worthwhile. Here's Rhapsody's latest bargain download this week.
Thriller by Michael Jackson $2.99
