Can Amazon mp3s be played without special licenses or software? Do you have to be connected to their server to obtain authorization to play them or are they just plain mp3s? I'm actually interested in buying mp3s, but the stories I've heard is that they're a big pain and then after awhile the company that sold them to you goes out of business and they become unplayable.

They are normal MP3s. Download once, copy to any device. I don't know if they have some kind of watermarking that ID's them to your account, though.

AFAIK there is no way to lock an MP3 file to specific hardware or software. You need a proprietary format like Apple .aac or MS .wma to do this, and it is even an option on these file types.

Amazon used to sell MP3's you can download once, and then that's it.

Now, they put them in 'the cloud' they have and you can download unlimited times IIRC.

Thanks OP!

Yup. You can stream anything you bought from amazon through a PC or mobile phone app, or you can download it entirely again if you wish.

Nice, thanks OP!

As far as MP3's from Amazon, you can't go wrong. There is none of that Apple copyright BS - I can play the same music on my PC that my wife is playing on her phone - at the same time even. Why? Because we bought it, that's why. I love having options and love the companies that give them to me even more.

Not sure what you are talking about here - there is no DRM on music from the iTunes store. I think there was several years back, but they stopped that a long time ago.
