![]() We contacted Amazon UK for a comment on this story, but at the time of publication, it has not responded. But even simpler than that, there's a market here for people to buy music on their Android phones and okay, that's a pretty small market at the moment, but it's just being ignored. ![]() ![]() When you've got a massive force like the iTunes music store to beat, the competition needs to be fierce and impressive. More importantly though, if Android is to succeed, it needs to compete with the iPhone. We'd understand if there was no UK store, but there is, and has been for some time now. So we can't see any good reason for the lack of MP3 store via UK-based Android handsets. And you can get them while you're drunk and happy to spend money on music you may very well hate the next morning. Quite simply, it's the easiest possible way for people to discover and pay for new music. It ties directly into the app, so there's no need to view the site in a clunky browser window and faff about with insecure log-ins and all that nonsense. 3 Country Rank 4 United Kingdom Category Rank 1 eCommerce & Shopping > Marketplace (In United Kingdom) Connect this website Total Visits 364.3M Bounce Rate 36.16 Pages per Visit 7.80 Avg Visit Duration 00:06:16 Company, Inc. What's more, the astonishing app Shazam - which finds out what tune is currently bathing your lug-holes - offers the ability to buy songs via Amazon MP3 in the UK. We can't imagine there would need to be much changed from the US version for it to work here - we suspect Amazons US and UK use similar hosting and payment systems for their music stores. There are no rights issues, because there's an MP3 store in the UK we all use on a pretty regular basis. It's pretty logical to use Amazon because it's a DRM-free, open, Web-based system that really lends itself to phone use. ![]() We ask, because we know US Android phones have a built-in app for the Amazon music store. ![]()
