Warrior Princess

I don't like iTunes. I don't like how long it takes to boot, the bloated internet connectivity, the limited playback features, its arcane organization / file copying schemes, all of it. But I figured it's the most appropriate way for an internet thug like me to support musicians that I like.

Amazon MP3, though. Here's where it wins:
  • "Preview All" button to go through all the samples of an entire album. When buying music online, this is clutch because it's always a toss up whether or not to buy more than one song for the better deal.
  • DRM-free MP3 files. No brainer. Sucks to be you, Apple!
  • I always have a browser open anyway.

Hooray for Amazon MP3!

There's also how itunes LP pretends to cater to audiophiles when in fact it doesn't with no lossless media. I've also heard it costs too much for Indie labels to realistically afford, alienating yet another section of the community.

That's all I could add off the top of my head.
