Free stuff on Amazon
It’s a bit hard to notice—they don’t promote it as obviously as Apple always has—but the Amazon MP3 Store also has a free song of the week. It’s the third box down in the left column, and it’s titled “Weekly Free Download”.
And, of course, unlike most of Apple’s free songs, Amazon’s free songs are free in two ways: free of charge, and DRM-free.

Ooh! Yay for more free stuff! Maybe between this and the iTunes Store single of the week, we’ll actually start getting some *good* free singles.

Indeed. Amazon’s actually presenting some pretty good free songs, better than iTunes has ever had (with only a couple of exceptions on iTunes—Los Angeles, for example, is a good song, and Run is one of my favorites). Of course, it’s still early; they may have just run out of good ones and will have crap from now on. ;)
Meanwhile, on iTunes, don’t shy away from the Spanish-language free songs. They’re usually better than the English-language free songs.

Too bad the Amazon MP3 service is only available to the USA :(
