amazon.com — Amazon has finally released their MP3 downloader for Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, and OpenSUSE. Now Linux users can legally download entire DRM free albums. They had to do it song-by-song before, which ends up costing more.

I would have thought Apple would have avoided doing so because of the mess that is Linux on the desktop (2 incompatible package formats, 3 WMs, 7+ desktop distros all redundant etc), but it appears that Apple is going to face increasing pressure now from stuff like this.It's going to be good for Linux overall, because once large applications like iTunes and presumably stuff like the amazon downloader move to linux, things will hopefully clean up a bit.

@schotty - Podcasts work just fine in Linux. They are just RSS feeds.

Go Amarok. Amarok is way better than iTunes, and its not a piece of bloatware.

Well why don't we all go back to 16-bit then?

Am I the only idiot who asks for source code?

I wrote to Amazon asking about the possibility of true open source initiative. Why not make their download capability extend to lossless FLAC format, or even open up their download client!I got a very honest and open response. I posted their response in an article.
