This might actually get me to come back to iTunes, to comparison-shop my tracks. Currently, I buy all my music on AmazonMP3, since it was DRM-free and cheaper. Then iTunes went DRM-free too, but they still didn’t have the price advantage. This may still not give them that edge, but once this takes effect, I may have to at least check who’s selling what I’m looking for for less.

The way I see it, this can only benefit consumers. With price competition like this from iTunes, AmazonMP3 may be forced lower too.

Bastards.
