    It's all good

    Perhaps this is at last the _real_ competitor to the iTunes throne and keep Apple on its toes. I am an unbashed Apple fanboy and I had various iPods but I rarely use the iTunes Music Store. I am part of that vast majority where most of my music is ripped from my own CD library. On the few occasions I've bought music from iTunes, I've forgotten to "backup" the files and if I delete them or just hose my drive, I have to buy the music again. If I own the CD, I can just rerip. Will the Amazon Music Store allow you to redownload songs you already bought?
