Jeremy -- For the record, Sub Pop releases are most definitely available on the iTunes music store. Go there & search for "kinski". The record this poor seattlest was trying to get from Amazon will come up directly. For $8.91 the whole thing could be yours. Or yours. MS no doubt paid who a fortune for what exclusive rights? It would've been so easy to check on this before you posted here... I heard Sub Pop even has an album in iTunes' top 10 right now. Or something like that.

Oh -- and emusic.com is DRM free MP3.

emusic.com is what you're looking for. Not only do they have a lot of music, but the value you get for your dollar is incredible. 30 tracks for ten dollars. They also allow you to re-download purchased tracks for no additional charge.

For the record, Sub Pop is also not on ITunes, only Zune/MS music store. MS no doubt paid them a fortune for the exclusive rights--hence Kinski's new album is only available for digital download to MS lackies.

cool. You're definitely in it for the riffs with Kinski. You have to put up with their tracks popping up on shuffle every now and then and beginning with 20 minutes of near silence, but when the riffs start it's worthwhile.

I listened to the new Kinski record on Napster a couple of days ago. There are some killer riffs, and Chris is singing again on some of the songs. Good stuff.

I also had no problem yesterday after inputing a new card. And FWIW, the Amazon song downloader is very similar to the eMusic variety. That is to say, it's pretty benign and probably worth using if only to consolidate downloads.

FWIW, I purchased yesterday with no problem. Just sayin'...

That sounds like way too much work for a song you didn't even start out wanting. Cmon Amazon, STEP UP.
