I used to use iTunes as well to buy my songs but Amazon has made it so freaking simple to purchase songs off their website and then sync them directly into your itunes. Way to go Amazon!

That said, your passion for the subject is apparent and very much appreciated. -na Well, considering Michael said he was looking for “M3Ps,” I doubt he’s an expert on digital music downloads.

Amazon is a better service. People that know the facts use Amazon.com for mp3 downloads. It is all DRM-free, has a better selection, and is much better priced. Why would anyone not use it? Answer: because they have been stupidly blinded by the iTune's (previous) online music monopoly. Why is it a surprise they would show Amazon instead of iTunes? Amazon is a better service.

Mail, MySpace, etc etc. But Amazon works just fine. Interesting to note as well that the office is one of those fairly rare shows where the computers shown aren't Macs (24 also comes to mind). But then again, who would believe that there is actually an office at a paper company that uses anything other than Dells or HP's? And isn't there an episode of the Office where a video iPod is the centerpiece of a secret santa thing?
