Take That – The Circus only £3

I love the internet and just when you think it can’t get any better Amazon launch a new MP3 download service to compete with Apple iTunes store and sell albums from only £3 including Snow Patrol – A Hundred Million Suns, Kings of Leon – Only By The Night, Mamma Mia! The Movie Soundtrack, Will Young – Let It Go, Girls Aloud – Tangled Up and of course not forgetting the man band currently fronting the M&S advertising campaign Take That – The Circus at Amazon for only £3

Sony ‘Standards’

Having bought a number of Sony electronics bits and bobs in my past I know how they like to live in their own world with their own set of standards and cables and the like.
Now they are launching connect.com to rival iTunes Store. Tracks downloaded through Sony Connect are sold in ATRAC3 format which will play only on Sony brand players, not on iPods or many other digital music players. So erm am I missing the point here – yet another ‘standard’ from Sony.
