Bought myself the Amy Winehouse "Back To Black" album. $8.99 - the mp3 downloader is quick and not too ugly. Though, as a user of eMusic, I like their downloader a little better. Amazon's feels a little too... stale, I guess. But, the songs sound great through my speakers here at work - nine bucks for 256 kbps is a good thing compared to iTunes. Add in no DRM and I think it'll stand the test. Hopefully. So, I thought I’d give it a try. Bought myself the Amy Winehouse “Back To Black” album.
