Amazon vs. iTunes

Ready to purchase Rufus Wainwright’s Poses album, I decided to take a look at Amazon’s online music service. The first thing I noticed was lower prices, the second, lack of copy-protection hassles. Below is an informal comparison of iTunes to Amazon’s online music offering. Which would you choose? The choice was easy for me.

Last night I upgraded to Wordpress 2.5. The Wordpress Automatic upgrade plug in made it a snap. I highly recommend Wordpress v2.5. There are many new features in the admin interface.
