Amazon MP3 Downloads Doesn’t Take Gift Certificates
Amazon recently unveiled Amazon MP3. They have 2 million songs, and popular songs are discounted from $0.99 to $0.89. Unfortunately they do not accept Amazon.com gift certificates to buy those songs. This is a major flaw and one that they will hopefully fix in time. Usually 1-click ordering lets you choose to use a gift certificate, but with Amazon MP3 you can only pay for your songs with a credit card.
But it is beta so they could be holding off on it for a while. It also took iTunes a while to offer gift certificates, so it could be a legal issue. But Randy reminds me that you can’t buy Amazon gift certificates with a gift certificate balance, so it could be a flaw in their system design. I find I have a lot more Amazon certificates than iTunes, so it would be a perfect solution to be able to use them.

Yeah, singingfish.com was awesome. Too bad AOL killed it. There is this new site http://sadsteve.com though, that works in much the same way. And, in my opinion, downloads are easier.
