When I was at the iTMS, the only competitor that anybody was afraid of was Amazon. I'm certain that that awareness hasn't changed in the last few years.

- aaronblohowiak 16y agoThe Amazon MP3 album downloader thing is SO kludgy =( I think AMZN gets the broad strokes right but their details are just not top-shelf.
- joebadmo 16y agoI agree. I think even the website, while a great overall shopping experience and basically synonmyous for me with online shopping, has a lot of issues graphic design -wise as well as usability stuff like drilling down into categories and sorting by different/multiple criteria. I bet they do end user support way better than Google, though.
- AJ007 16y agoIf you think that is bad, did you every try the Amazon Unbox video downloader? Horrendous performance to this day. As for the Kindle app for the PC, Mac, and iOS, love it. Amazon is capable of producing high quality products, but they really need to be careful about letting crap be released. It can do irreversible damage to your brand.
- reeses 16y agoI don't think this is true. Auctions definitely didn't put any nails in Amazon's coffin.
- wazoox 16y agoIt's kludgy, but you only use it for the short while necessary to download an album. On the other hand, I can't remotely stand iTunes. I even go through the pain to remove it from my Mac.

- hexis 16y agoAnd maybe the broad stroke here will be their Cloud Player/Drive, which has no download step.
