Amazon to Launch its Own MP3 Store
Amazon had been of offering a huge range of varied goods like Electronics, Apparel, Computers and what not. Now they have decided to launch a MP3 store that exclusively sells the non-DRM tracks. The most exciting feature of this store will be that it will sell these tracks with variable prices. The customers will find this feature appealing and will find a good mp3 collection in a format that is good for all the devices. This strategy looks to be influenced by the impact of Microsoft’s announcement that made it clear about Zune not supporting it’s own PlayForSure DRM. Yahoo! Music, Napster, URGE and others based on PlayForSure have had a devastating effect on their business. This bold move by Amazon will help it make a good market and may give a tough fight to Apple’s iTunes market as Amazon promises to provide variable pricing to both major and indie labels which they had been demanding for long.

Amazon is in hurry to launch its DRM free music service on its retail store because at the same time, Apple is planning to start selling DRM free music from EMI in May through its music store.

According to Reuters, if Universal goes for DRM free music then everyone has to follow. Even if Amazon will manage to sell its DRM free music service with Universal, still Amazon has competition with Apple. If it will become true, the Amazon direct download store will become second major online store to offer unprotected music compatible with both the iTunes jukebox and the iPod. Amazon has already entered into the online media business by unveiling its Unbox video store, which sells movies and TV shows in a DRM-laden Windows Media format. Image Credit: SUN Via: Ars Technica
