Inspired by Jenny, I tried Amazon’s new downloadable mp3 service this morning. All in all, I was impressed - especially cool was the little app that monitors the download and sticks it right into your iTunes. Smart Amazon! That makes it pretty much one-click and to must of us that convenience is worth more than a dime.

The only thing that startled me was when prompted for payment, Amazon presented me with an entire screen of credit care options - I’ve have no had this many credit cards over the course of my lifetime. And that one on the end? That’s my dad’s! The one I did want to use was among them, and when I selected it the purchase went forward, unchallenged. Yikes!

Update: I recommend starting with The Mountain Goats.
