Amazon's Linux answer to iTunes is a winner

"Are you a Linux user suffering from iTunes store envy? If so, Amazon has a deal for you. While any good Linux media player, like my own personal favorite Banshee, will let you rip music from CDs, there hasn't been a good source to buy music online for Linux players ... until now."

Amazon embeds a CD cover jpg into the ID3 tags. Amarok does not like this and shows album art as corrupted. You can see how to work around this here.
