Los Angeles - Amazon.com will offer a 20% commission on sales to affiliates who drive traffic to its new MP3 store, compared to the 5% commission that Apple provides to iTunes Store affiliates, Mashable.com reported. AmazonMP3 offers DRM-free songs for between 89 cents and 99 cents. Today, Apple cut the price of tracks at its own DRM-free music store, iTunes Plus, from $1.29 to 99 cents.

Competition = A Good Thing

Finally, some real competition to iTunes! Unfortunately, if you live outside of the US, you can't use AmazonMP3. If you are one of those unlucky people, there is a site that searches several non-DRM music stores at once: http://www.songboxx.com. You’ll certainly find a store that will work for you.
