Needless to say, this makes Amazon MP3's 99 cent tracks that much more attractive. Advantageous mp3 is a little script and application combo that makes comparison shopping between iTunes and Amazon a snap."</em></p><p><em><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1239242766.usr105634.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></em></p><p>So with the recent <a href="http://www.applethoughts.com/news/show/93289/variable-pricing-now-live-in-itunes.html" target="_blank">news</a> about variable pricing on iTunes in full swing, as well as at the <a href="http://www.amazonmp3.com/" target="_blank">Amazon mp3</a> store, out comes this handy sounding application. <a href="http://www.advantageousmp3.com/mac/" target="_blank">Advantageous mp3</a> is a free download, and adds an AppleScript to iTunes as well as a small application to your Mac. You can start the script from the iTunes script menu and it does a search in Amazon via your default browser. It appears, however, that it doesn't work with all browsers. Sounds like, if it does work with your browser, it is a handy way to do some comparison shopping.</p><p> </p>
