Amazon.com's DRM Free Music Store Rocks!

If you didn't know, Amazon.com now has an MP3 store. All music sold in Amazon.com's MP3 store is DRM free and, as you might have guessed, in MP3 format. Thus, it can be played by any music program and on any MP3 player. The following is a more detailed overview as quoted from Amazon.com's website:

Amazon MP3 offers over 2 million songs — all in MP3 format, which means they can play on any digital media player, including the iPod.

Most songs are between $0.89 and $0.99, and most albums are between $5.99 and $9.99. Browse by price or genre; shop Top Downloads or New & Future Releases; and search for songs, albums or artists using the search box at the top of any Amazon MP3 storefront page.

Listen to 30-second samples of songs by clicking the `play´ button next to a song title, or hear all samples from a song list by clicking the `Preview All´ button.
I use their service and have been very impressed, thus far. The sole reason they have won my loyalty is due to their anti-DRM policy. So, if you want to purchase MP3s for your music collection, I highly reccomend Amazon.com's MP3 store.
