Amazon takes on Apple with DRM-Free Music
Amazon takes on Apple with DRM-free music. I’ve used iTunes since it was first released in 2001.

An Apple Retail Void
*sigh* So many Apple retail stores, and yet, the nearest stores to the Augusta, Georgia area are at least two hours away. Apple now has over 170 retail locations globally, and a majority of those are in the continental United States.
