Amazon (finally) joins UK MP3 fray

My copy of New Media Age hit the doormat at last this morning, complete with a cover story about Amazon’s imminent opening of an MP3 store here in Blighty. How long has this been open in the States???

Anyway, alongside 7Digital and Play.com, iTunes is at last getting some serious competition. I like it!

Update: 7Digital Ditches DRM 100%

Bye Bye DRM

I blogged a couple of times on this subject already – this is really just an update. Seems Sandlines was pretty quick off the mark with this news yesterday, beating New Media Age, Brand Republic and the Guardian to the punch.

When I posted below, there were a smattering of Sony/Columbia etc titles available in MP3 format. 7Digital have now confirmed that they are 100% MP3. That means 4 million tracks. Oh, and that Glasvegas album is better value, this week only, for a fiver. You heard it here first
