Poll: Do You Choose iTunes Or Amazon For Digital Music?

In case you haven’t heard yet, April has been the first month for iTunes’ new three-tier pricing to be put into effect. Yes, iTunes has sold songs for amounts a bit less or more than $0.99 before, but you now see songs generally priced at $0.69, $.099, or $1.29. Record companies are hoping their ability to determine the 30 cent differences will help sales by setting older or less popular songs at $0.69 and their brand new hits at $1.29.

All songs on iTunes are also now free of Digital Rights Management (DRM), which means songs can be bought once and played on unlimited iPods and computers without dealing with copy protection.

$1.29 isn’t that much more when you think about it at first, but does it effect your decisions in regards to where you buy your music in the long run? Amazon.com is still selling their individuals songs at $0.99 at the most, and they’ve been free of DRM for over a year. The Orlando Sentinel actually suggested a program that allows you to easily compare iTunes and Amazon prices before you buy a song, but do you care that much? iTunes is the leading music retailer – Are you going to stop using it when all your music is already in an iTunes library?
