AMAZON MP3 #2 To ITUNES

(From Cynopsis)

AMAZON's DRM-free music sales outlet AMAZON MP3 overtook EMUSIC as the #2 online music outlet and is now second only to ITUNES just 6 months after launching, reports THE USA TODAY.

AMAZON has deals in place with WARNER MUSIC, SONY/BMG and UNIVERSAL, offering a catalog of about 4.5 million DRM free songs.

APPLE, which still controls 80% of the digital download market, offers about 2 million DRM free tracks, including EMI and indie labels, according to the article.

eMusic CEO DAVID PARKMAN disputes the findings in his company's blog.
