Its such as you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, such as you wrote the ebook in it or something. I believe that you just can do with a few % to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is great blog. A great read. I will certainly be back.

As other commenters have pointed out, regular iTunes is AAC @ 128 kbps, not 192 kbps. (Check Wikipedia.) Also, at the same bit rate, AAC is superior to MP3, but at 256 kbps audio is pretty much transparent for both formats.

For a long time I was buying my songs from RealPlayer, because they were offering AAC @ 192 kbps. That was the highest audio quality available for quite a while. It’s good to see Amazon, Real, and Apple moving to 256 kbps.

I don’t know any of you but I had to jump in with a comment here.

This is the first time in 10+ years I’ve paid for music in any form… and man… I love it. It’s truly WORTH IT! iTunes was never worth the cost because you couldn’t do what you wanted/needed to do with your own music that you paid for. iTunes plus? c’mon… I have to pay more and I still have to install stinky iTunes?

This is basic in concept and awesome in practice. Their search system could use a little fine-tuning but after a couple clicks I’ve so far managed to find every CD I wanted that was available for download (some still are not, but they’re adding more every day). The Amazon download software has been rip-roaringly fast for a 256k file and the files themselves are beautiful. I don’t care if my name is encoded into the header of the file because I’m not going to share it… it’s all mine! but damn.. at least I can put it on my mp3 player, take it home, put it on my media center computer, put it on my work computer, play it in my car cd-player, leave a copy at Church if I need to do some work there after hours and just happen to want to play it over the av system, etc…

Applauds to Amazon for pulling the record companies into this kicking and screaming… finally someone who was able to make it happen!

Because of this service I have sworn discontinue torrent and other forms of p2p use all together for acquiring media content. No more guilt = win!

I’m sorry about not focusing more on the search experience. For me, as with many other users, it was very easy to find what we were looking for, but you’ve mentioned some features that would be neat to see made part of the store. Perhaps I’ll send Amazon a suggestion to add filtering options when searching.

This review completely ignored the search experience, which is horrendous. As an example, I typed “barracuda” in the MP3 Download search box. The results? Two bands were listed with the word “barracuda” in their names. What if I had intended to find a song I thought I heard called “barracuda”, but couldn’t remember the artist? There’s no option to make a search more specific than general keyword. Further, in the results list of songs, sorting by song title, artist name, album title, or even song length is not an option. Unless you know exactly what you’re looking for, or are just browsing to see what you run across, searching Amazon MP3 Downloads is very frustrating. Limiting and filtering searches and results is vital. The lack of such options really detracts from Amazon’s service.
