Ag-ayup a panangruna ti baro a naipablaak a AmazonMP3 a tienda ti musika kadagiti dua a aldaw. Ti dakkel a panangruna ket kasapulan dagiti 2 million a DRM-free a kanta a naipablaak iti day, nga addaan pay Apple a nagpauten a mangsukisok.

Daytoy ti maysa a naipadur-as a pannakailasin kadagiti dua a serbisio agingga ita:

Apple iTunes Music Store
Kasapulan a kanta iti Store: sumurok 6,000,000
Presio ti Kanta: USD $0.99 tunggal maysa para kadagiti may DRM, $1.29 para kadagiti saan a may DRM
Presio ti Album: USD $9.99
Kalidad: 128 Kbps
Format ti File: AAC (.m4p extension)
Software: iTunes Music Player
Kumpatibilidad ti Player: iPod, iPhone

Tengngel a AmazonMP3 Music Store
Kasapulan a kanta iti Store: napudot 2,000,000
Pricio ti Kanta: USD $0.89 aginggana $0.99 tunggal maysa 100% DRM-free
Pricio ti Album: USD $4.99 aginggana $9.99
Kalidad: 256 Kbps
Format ti File: MP3
Software: iTunes Music Player, Windows Media Player
Kompatibilidad ti Player: iPod, iPhone, Zune, Creative Zen, GigaBeat, Sandisk Sansa, Sony Network Walkman, ken adu pay a sabali...

MP3 Payers

Kadagiti agdama ken mas mababa a presyo, pinaka-baetan a punto ti panangtedan ti AmazonMP3 ket saan daytoy nga addaan iti DRM, a mangipatawag a makasubliakto kadagiti iTunes ken Windows Media Player, ken ma-sink ito kadagiti amin a portable music player a maitedyo. Adda ti naan-anay a panangpababa para kadagiti agtengngel iti iPod tapno mapananda iti AmazonMP3.

Apay a bumili kadagiti naiprotektaran ken napigsa a kanta iti iTunes no makakapabili ka iti AmazonMP3 para iti mas mababa a presio ket mausar daytoy iti amin a mp3 player nga adda iti imutmo? Siguro, Apple ket agtultuloy a mangaramid iti napigsa a kompetensia ditoy.

There is a website that searches over 6,000,000 Non-DRM tracks (not including AmazonMP3, which it says its adding soon) all at once – http://www.songboxx.com. With the addition of AmazonMP3, it’ll be a pretty incredible search engine, and THE place to figure out where to purchase non-DRM music on the internet.

..hate to say this but there isn’t much to blog about Philippine technology. Kung meron, I doubt that it’ll excite the geek in us. I dare that tool to come up with something to blog about each day about Globe, Smart, Pex, and ….?

Neways, Amazon is challenging Apple’s upcoming iTV. Also I’m excited about using their S3 and EC2 hosting and media storage for my upcoming website.

funny comment at that, yuga wasn’t blogging about any gadget in this particular entry. he was blogging about the entry of AmazonMP3 in the online music store biz.

Let’s go back to regular programming. :)

Jeffrey · 19 years ago

Practical that i am, i won’t buy an iPod, but if somebody generous will give me one, i’ll take it wholeheartedly.

Envious one,
Yuga has the right to put anything on HIS blog.

Eugene · 19 years ago

Anonymous coward, why do you always comment inappropriately? Don’t you have a family to feed? Sheesh.

envyus · 19 years ago

Eugene… your right.. so what is Yuga’s point? This blog is suppose to be about Philippino technology news…

Eugene · 19 years ago

Yuga, you forgot to mention that AmazonMP3 requires a valid U.S. billing address. So if you’re in Europe or Japan, you’re still stuck with iTunes.

envyus · 19 years ago

Yuga

Why would we be jealous of you? All that gumstickstomyteeth was asking if why do you always have to brag all that you have? Can you at least answer that question?

issai · 19 years ago

hahaha… well said yuga… maybe he already made a bot just to put comments on your blog. i had a share of people who want to ruin me because i think they’re jealous that my dad loves me muchos and sort of spoiled me.

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 19 years ago

Dude, you’ve been coming to this blog for over a year now, leaving comments with over a dozen different nicks. Don’t you even want to acknowledge yourself by putting in your real name and email? C’mon, gimme a break. It’s too obvious you’re just trolling.

Unless you put in your real name and email, nobody will take you seriously. Besides, don’t you have better things to do than waste your time and money in this blog? Peace bro. Don’t let jealousy take-over your heart. ;)

Yuga,

Why do you always brag about the gadgets that you have? Dont you have a family to feed? I thought your blog is about Philippin technology then why not blog about that?
