Amie St. Not So Cheap…

I was recommended Amie St. (Amie Street) for my next web music purchases, and it does sound cool. Songs are a lot cheaper than what I am used to, and I thought this must be something good. But before signing up, I’d have to check out their selection. There songs are DRM free, that sounds even more tempting, not that I have had any trouble with DRM protected material, YET.

So whats the drawback, when they offer songs almost free? It’s all indie music, a lot of user submitted music. That’s great for a number of people, but it means you have to wade through a lot of music before you perhaps find what you are really looking for.  I am still going to give Amie St. the benefit of the doubt, and they do seem to have a niche, when it comes to indie music. However, if I need to purchase anything mainstream, I’m going to stay with iTMS, even though it may be a little more expensive.

Lastly here is a comical ad from Motorola (perhaps not completely worksafe), I think this sums up the dangers of cameraphones in 30 seconds.
