>> I thought they did not give you cds, but only mp3 downloaded songs, so 
>> maybe you mean whole album.

>>> Hello Bryan,
>>>
>>> Can you explain more about the website? I think Amazon is a cluttered 
>>> site and I'm upset with them for making the kindle inaccessible.
>>> I'd rather buy elsewhere if I can. Amazon's site is huge with hundreds 
>>> of links, clutter, ads, and graphics that you get overwelmed with it 
>>> using a screen reader!
>>> In fact, I prefer the old fashioned way of cds and will do that as long 
>>> as cds are available.
>>> So as I checked that link out you gave, I was curious.
>>> It seems to be an mp3 downloading site and you can search their catalog 
>>> by different criteria like genre, release date, artist, etc.
>>>
>>> But can you say more? I assume you use the service. How much does music 
>>> cost?
>>> Can you buy by the song or album? Do you pay by the month to be a member 
>>> and how does that work?
>>> If you register with them, any  free benefits? Is this music service 
>>> kind of like itunes? It appears that way.
>>>
>>> Thanks.
>>> Ashley

>>>>>
>>>>> I set up my preferences for the purchased songs to go to the Amazon 
>>>>> MP3 Downloader, but something went wrong and it didn't happen. 
>>>>> Instead, they went to the Cloud Player.
>>>>> I called technical Support.  But I'm sure most of you know how that 
>>>>> went. In the end they just reissued me the opportunity to re-download 
>>>>> the songs again.
>>>>>
>>>>> I've bought most of my music from Amazon.com.  It was a cinch before 
>>>>> they came up with the Cloud Player.  There was an attempt to exempt my 
>>>>> account from it, but no dice.
>>>>> So if anyone has any tips on how to deal with this, please let me 
>>>>> [and/or] others know.
