Digital Information Writing Assignment

Amazon & iTune – they make money by selling songs individually, which means they don’t sell songs in one CD album; the consumers have the choice to buy the song he/she wants instate of buying just one CD which also include bad songs.


KKBox- this sofeware is from Taiwan. They charge monthly fee. And u have unlimited download. But the disadvantage of this program is you won’t get the newest song of the market. And also, you can download whatever song you want as long as it is in the downloadable list, and you don’t have to download the whole CD. If you want to download the newest songs on the market, they will charge extra fee for doing that.


For all three programs/website, they all use similar system. Those songs you wish to download can only play on certain media player.

For Amazon, you need Amazon MP3 Downloader application to download the song. Although you can play the song on iTune or Windows Media Player, but there’s protection on the mp3 file which makes it’s harder to share the music or video, etc.

For iTune and KKBox, you can only download the file via their software, and you can only use the software to play those file you downloaded. Also, you need to create an account before you use these software (buying music); and these software will use this account to identified the music you downloaded to see if you have the right to play them.
