Amazon Music = Awesome


So for the first time in a long time, I actually paid for my music. When two albums I was interested in (Ingrid Michealson's 'Be OK' and Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist Soundtrack) weren't available through Ruckus, I actually decided that the $8 pricetag for each album was worth it. The music is at a great bitrate (256), mp3 format, and completly DRM FREE!

Some people might not know it yet, but if you've bought music from the iTunes music store (and many other places) and tried to move it to a different computer it has to be 'authorized' before you can play it. It's a Orwellian way to try and combat piracy that's annoying and ineffective. iTunes is trying to get away from DRM, but hasn't yet.

Thus concludes my happy reccomendation.
