Amazon MP3 Now Selling Chart-Topping Tunes for $0.69  Amazon MP3
has always had a few advantages over iTunes, like higher bitrate
tracks and great integration with DoubleTwist for non-Apple
devices. This weekend, they pushed the envelope even more,
lowering their prices to hard-to-ignore levels. While iTunes
jacked up the prices to popular songs from $0.99 to $1.29,
Amazon is now selling many of those same tracks for a measly
$0.69. They've always been a bit ahead of iTunes on the price
game (they were only $0.89 before), but a fairly extensive
catalog of $0.69 tracks is pretty hard to turn down. If you've
foregone Amazon's MP3 store in the past, it might be time for
another look—at least if you're into popular music. [Los Angeles
