Martek: The part about not being to download entire albums in a single step is incorrect. [..] article has that inaccuracy and left out those details [..]
phaolo: I guess it's just outdated, as I saw that exact page ages ago.
Nice "news" about Amazon, even if I'm not sure if I can trust its digital services like its physical goods.
Yeah, maybe so.
One of my big pet peeves is undated articles on the internet. Seems to be prevalent these days.
I might have just missed it, but I could not find a date for that article on that page. Admittedly I didn't check the source for meta tags (where I have found the date in other 'undated' articles); but I wish all articles were dated right near the top or at least above the fold.

One thing I meant to say about Amazon; but forgot to in the other post, is that some of their digital music downloads are "fingerprinted" to your account.
Those that are, are identified before you purchase them (on the product page IIRC); so they can be avoided if you only want 'pure' MP3's. Not all of them are that way - and they note that it has to do with the licensing for those particular items.
You can still download and play them on any MP3 player, and move them around at will. But if you were to share them, and Amazon or the publisher were to somehow single them out, the fingerprint would allow them to be traced back to your account as the origination.
Since I don't share or upload mine, I've decided I can live with that relatively benign form of DRM.
