Amazon Downloads: Who Knew?

Never thought I'd say it, but this Amazon downloading thing is really cool. If you have an account, you can literally be listening to an album on your computer before the song that inspired the purchase has finished playing on the radio.

I'm not listening to the radio, but the Galaxy music system on Vidéotron (worth the entire subscription, if you ask me) and this is possibly the third one-click download I've made this month. $8.99 and the entire album is in iTunes within a matter of SECONDS. In this case, all complete even before the song was over.

This time it was Elaine Elias (who?) Sings Jobim. Really, really good.

Delectable. And easy. Saves me a bus ride into town, a search among the CD racks, $18.99 for a useless piece of packaging that takes up shelf space . . . need I go on? And she gets her cut, too. All's right with the world.
