Amazon’s MP3s Available for Linux Now

March 10th, 2008 | Category: Entertainment, Linux, Tech

Some months ago, launched a huge, DRM-free catalog of songs and albums available in MP3 format. Now they have released their download client for Linux in native formats for Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora and OpenSUSE. The client is not required to download individual songs, but only for entire albums. I’ve already downloaded a couple of albums as well as individual tracks with no problems on Fedora 8.

Their terms of service appear to be somewhat heavy-handed, but I don’t really see how they could effectively enforce them with no DRM involvement. For the foreseeable future, this will become my primary means of music purchase, finally replacing CDs.
