Apple changes it's (i)Tune

[Rich-n-Texas]

I'm right now on the Amazon MP3 music store page searching for these cheap songs but so far with little success. I went to their FAQ page and clicked the link for DRM. It said all of Amazon's MP3's are DRM free. Great! So I clicked on the "Classic Rock" section then "Album Oriented Rock" and was shown albums from artists like Led Zeppelin, Yes, Pink Floyd...etc, but of this sampling of three artists, the ONLY SONG I could find that was less than their normal price was "Stairway to Heaven", for 79 cents. That was it. So where're the 69 cent songs? Why can't I search on songs based on price? WTF? Maybe I'm not being patient enough? "Stairway to Heaven" is an "oldie", but so is "Us and Them" by Pink Floyd. Guess what? It costs $1.94. So whats the deal? Are stores other than the iTunes store holding out until demand at their stores decreases? And I STILL don't see any way to find out what the bitrate of these songs are without having to buy them first. 10 bucks says the cheap-to-purchase songs will have crappy old 128Kbps, and the 1 dollar + songs will be 256 or VBR. Typical corporate bullsh!t.

:shakes head in disgust:

Correction: The bit rate is shown and songs purchased for 99 cents are at 256Kbps.
