But the release this week of George Harrison's solo recordings demonstrates that iTunes is not always the more expensive option.
Harrison's first record - arguably the best solo work by any former Beatle and certainly the best-selling - is an EMI release, which means both stores are selling it sans DRM. Nominally that means 99 cents per track on Amazon and a relatively whopping $1.29 on iTunes. But when it comes to buying the complete album, the situation is reversed.
Apple asks $9.99 for the whole 28-track album; Amazon wants $13.55, and that doesn't include the digital booklet you get with iTunes.
So when Amazon downloads launch in the UK - they will, won't they? - beware that all that glisters may not be gold.
