new itunes competitor

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6662439.stm
Amazon have announced they are to bring out a new mp3 online music store, that sells music compatible to any music player. This could prove to be a serious competitor to itunes as Amazon will be at a similar price and all its music will be DRM free.
The itunes store is currently adding music which is available for ipods and for other players (at a slightly higher pricce to the ipod versions), but much of it's music is still to be offered with this.
Amazon will also have a huge advantage of having huge numbers of record labels from the beginning, giving them a large base of traacks to start up on.
