| Amazon Launches Lossless "Hi-rez" HD Music Service I have been intrigued by the Amazon HD music service - and finally did get motivated to pay for streaming when Amazon entered the game. First impressions: sounds far better than the free services I have been tolerating for years. I have not run in... | |
