Silent Assassin- The Amazon MP3 Service to Challenge iTunes

December 10, 2008

Last week Amazon UK launched its MP3 download service. The service provides MP3 files that are DRM-free which means they are unrestricted for transferring and playing on different devices including iPods and iTunes. It is interesting to see that even without a press release for the launch of Amazon MP3, searches for ‘amazon mp3’ have increased 17 fold over the last week. Within all searches containing the term ‘mp3’, searches for ‘amazon mp3’ shot up to the second most searched for MP3 term behind ‘mp3 players’ for the week ending 6th December.
