    Default Amazon MP3


    I had a quick questing referring to purchasing songs on Amazon. I have recently found the ability to bookmark songs on Pandora and then have the ability to click a link on the Pandora website that will take you to the Amazon site to purchase the songs. Will the songs that I download on my PC have the ability to be downloaded on my phone as well without getting charged twice for it? I know the simple solution would be to just transfer the song from the PC to the G1 via the USB, but in the rare situation that I wouldn't be around my PC and I wanted to listen to a song that I had recently downloaded. Any thoughts?

    Songs purchased from Amazon MP3 store on Android will be DRM free. Which means that you're free to copy/move those songs to whichever device you want, however many times you want. It's just like a regular file on the computer e.g. a Word document. You can email it, copy it, burn it on a CD etc. move it around on various flash drives.

    Therefore, songs you purchase on your phone are free to be copied to your computer and vice versa. Enjoy the freedom provided by DRM-free music.

    But a word of caution: Don't go around distributing those songs all over the Internet or give copies of those songs to every tom **** and harry you come across. That'll be abuse of that freedom and that's exactly what forced those record labels to invent the concept of DRM.

    Excellent, thats what I was thinking, just needed some re-assurance, "like a warranty on the box, makes you sleep better at night." (<--Tommy Boy), and rest assured, I will only be transferring them from my computers at home. Thanks for the reply!
