Amazon Gaining Share on iTunes

Some reports say that the music companies sell music to Amazon at much lower prices than they do for Apple to try to dilute Apple's hold. Even now many of the songs sold at 1.29 on Apple is only 99 on Amazon. Computerworld says that Amazon gets prices so low they can sell it for less than what the music labels offer Apple. Computerworld adds tongue-cheek that Apple might as well buy its music from Amazon! But amazing enough even with the scales weighted against it Apple is so good at giving a good user experience that it still holds such a lead over Amazon. We'll have to wait and see if the music labels become fairer towards Apple now that music labels got their variable pricing model.
