Amazon takes MP3 store global
Amazon has announced plans to take its Amazon MP3 store global sometime in 2008.

Why bother? There's already better, free, global music download services than these US-centric only services. One such gem I found is FindTheTunes.com ( http://www.findthetunes.com ).

what really sucks about this promotion, is that a large majority of the songs on Amazon are NOT part of the Pepsi promotion...it seems all they offer are what is part of the billboard charts and the crap that clear channel owned radio stations play...try getting something off the beaten path, like Sam Baker, and its no go...well I say GO TO HELL AMAZON.
