You have to download the Amazon App and install it (which takes about a minute). When you buy a song, that thing opens and automagically puts the track into iTunes. No drag, no drop. You can change the download location in prefs (which I already did). Then, make a Recently Added smart playlist and you'll have easy access to the tracks. I want to try to make one based on a directory, but I don't think that's possible.</p> <p>What I do is check Amazon first. If it's there, then I buy. If it's not, then iTunes. But Amazon is getting better everyday. Jimmies Chicken Shack? Who would have thought.</p> <p>It's also worth cruising the store too. They have been having a lot of Rat Pack stuff (if you like those guys) for cheap!</p> It’s easy. You have to download the Amazon App and install it (which takes about a minute).

What I do is check Amazon first. If it’s there, then I buy. If it’s not, then iTunes. But Amazon is getting better everyday. Jimmies Chicken Shack? Who would have thought.

It’s also worth cruising the store too. They have been having a lot of Rat Pack stuff (if you like those guys) for cheap!

Does it transfer into itunes rather smoothly, too? (or, do I need to drop it into the itunes library directory and launch from there/import?)</p> yeah, once I get internet at home I’m definitely trying the amazon store…although it doesn’t have as many tracks available as itunes it’s still cheaper, better bit rate, and drm free!
