Remember a while ago when I sang the praises of Play.com's download service? Well Amazon have joined the party in the UK and have dropped pricing and increased range even further. Prices for single tracks start at 59p and while the selection isn't that extensive at the moment I would imagine that will be changing. All tracks are DRM free.
Your move, iTunes.

Play.com enters the download market
And I'm a fan. Consider some of the differences with iTunes:
Price: iTunes, 79p per track. Play.com, prices start from 65p. Most tracks seem to be 70p.
Quality: iTunes, 192Kbps standard. Play.com, 320Kbps standard.
Format: iTunes, own m4p format, nightmare in terms of compatibility. Play.com, .mp3, works with just about everything (including my CD/mp3 player in the car).
DRM: iTunes, tracks are DRM protected. Play.com, no DRM protection.
I think it will be interesting to see how Apple responds to this.
