The Triumph the new market leader Apple is great, but the competition does not sleep. So, for example, Amazon would like to be in the electronic music trade more than say so far.
Since its founding 14 years ago, the world's largest booksellers' extensive know-how for the shipment of physical products such as books, CDs or DVDs developed - but digital distribution is the online retailer from Seattle to Apple in the behind.

However, Amazon's digital music offering to date only in the U.S., where after four years of development time went online last fall. The special thing about it: The four major music labels Universal, Sony BMG, EMI and Warner Music are on board, although the MP3 music store without the hated among userss digital rights management DRM in general compatible MP3 format works.
This allows customers the music on all devices, including Apple's iPod player. The selection is also huge: More than four million songs, the record companies, Amazon now available. Had started the MP3 music store with 2.7 million titles.

The undisputed leader is much more Media Markt and Saturn before Amazon.de. If only the digital music sales view, lies in front Musicload iTunes, the MP3 service from T-Online, Free so on.
As for the digital distribution of music, in Germany there is a Aufholpotential, the Amazon could be quite interesting. Time is pressing, however, because the Americans are sitting more competitors readyts in the neck. For example, as the largest Internet Personals Myspace a distribution model for music on the Internet unravel.
The new online service MySpace Music should, inter alia, directly accessible music and downloading of MP3 tracks, concert tickets and ring tones allow.
However, in contrast to Myspace Amazon does not all four major labels for the new service to warm up: want to take part only Sony BMG, Universal and Warner Music - EMI is still not with the game.
Myspace Music will start also in the U.S., but it should quickly be internationalized, announced recently at Myspace.
The market for digitally distributed music could be in Germany so soon be significantly brighter.
